With the closing of schools from February 5 to February 9, the extended holiday period actually amounts to a six-day break.

While February 4th falls on a Sunday, which is typically a non-working day, February 5th is marked as Kashmir Day, a public holiday.

The Election Commission and the Punjab Provincial Cabinet’s coordinated efforts highlight how crucial it is to create an atmosphere that encourages democratic engagement.

Authorities hope to preserve democratic values and guarantee a fair and transparent election by giving citizens the time and means to participate in the voting process.

All eyes are on the electorate to appropriately utilize their political right and contribute to Pakistan’s democratic fabric as the country gets ready for the general elections on February 8.
