What are the top labor law considerations for HR ahead of November's Election?

In May 2024, Littler published its annual Employer Survey report. In the report, 87% of the employer respondents expressed concerns about “managing divisive political and social beliefs among employees leading up to the 2024 election.”

As an employment law academic & multi-certified HR professional, this immediately brought questions to my mind: How can employers handle workplace conflict? What’s the best practice for managing employees who engage in political solicitation at work? Are employers mandated to give their workforce time off to vote?
