On April 9, 2026, multiple states and Union Territories in India will conduct Assembly Elections, leading to the closure of schools and educational institutions. This measure aims to enhance voter turnout and facilitate the polling process. In Kerala, all schools will remain closed as the state votes across 140 Assembly constituencies. Similarly, Puducherry will see educational institutions shut down for elections covering 30 seats. In Assam, polling for 126 seats will prompt local authorities to announce school closures in designated areas. Goa will observe a paid holiday for bye-elections in the 21-Ponda Assembly constituency, while Karnataka will also close schools for bye-elections on the same day. Additionally, Nagaland and Tripura will participate in the elections, with local administrations typically declaring school holidays to support voter participation. These closures will be officially confirmed closer to the election date.
