Schools and institutions are closed on election day. There are several reasons why general elections are held. Both urban and rural schools are used as polling places; therefore, in order to facilitate setup, voting, and the counting that follows, among other things, schools must be closed. Closures during turbulent polling times are motivated by security concerns and to minimize disturbance for students and staff.
