Telangana and Bihar Schools Closed for Bye-Elections
Imagine there's a special election happening at some schools in India today.
Because the schools are being used for voting, they are closed so everyone can vote easily.
This is happening in two places called Telangana and Bihar.
It's like a snow day, but for voting!
People who work in stores or factories also get a special paid day off if they are voters, so they can go and choose their leaders without missing pay.
The voting is happening in some places today, and in Bihar, schools will also be closed again when the votes are counted.
Schools and educational institutions in Telangana and Bihar are closed on November 11, 2025, due to bye-elections.
The closure in Telangana's Jubilee Hills constituency also extends to November 10 and 14 for institutions acting as polling or counting centers.
Bihar's educational institutions will also be closed on November 14 for vote counting.
The Election Commission of India declared the polling day as a paid holiday for voters in businesses and industries.
Bye-elections are being held across multiple constituencies in seven states and Union Territories on November 11.
