The YMCA of the USA recently announced that hundreds of its locations are offering free child care

services on Nov. 8 so parents can drop off their kids and go cast their ballots, USA Today reports.

Check with your local Y before Election Day to make sure they’re offering the free child care services on Nov. 8 before dropping your kids off. Offering free child care enables parents and caregivers the opportunity to vote and “ensures children can spend their time in a safe, nurturing environment.

A group of more than 320 companies in the U.S. have publicly pledged to give workers time off to vote on Election Day. According to CBS MoneyWatch, the companies are a part of the “Take Off Election Day” movement, which now includes high-profile companies such as Spotify, Tinder, Square, Western Union and SurveyMonkey.
