Why Schools are closed during the Assembly Elections 2024?

Schools are closed on election days due to smooth voting process and to ensure a safe setting for students. By shutting down schools, there is additional space available for voters, election officials, and necessary equipment.

This measure also helps to avoid disruptions linked to the increased foot traffic and public activities near school premises. Consequently, Haryana and J&K frequently observe school holidays during elections, as many schools serve as polling places.
