Get Ready to Vote: Delhi Declares Paid Holiday!

In Delhi, if you’re eligible to vote, you’ll get a paid day off from work to cast your ballot. This includes people working in both public and private sectors, as well as those commuting from nearby states like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan.

This decision was made to encourage more people to participate in elections, which are happening on May 25th this year. It’s based on a rule from the Election Commission of India, which wants to make sure everyone can vote without any hassle.

The Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi, Mr. P Krishnamurthy, hopes this will make it easier for everyone to take part in the democratic process. Employers have been asked to follow this rule, and there are consequences for those who don’t.

Overall, this move is about making democracy more accessible and reminding people of the importance of voting. It’s part of a bigger global effort to get more people involved in shaping the future of their countries through elections.
