Paid Leave for Election Day
All employees with a Voter ID card registered in Delhi/Noida (or other locations where an election is scheduled on 10/04/2014) are authorized to have paid leave on that date. Declaring 10th April as a holiday doesn't seem necessary, in my opinion, since an organization may have many employees with Voter IDs from places other than Delhi/Noida.
It is for experts to give their legal opinion, considering that if an employee is given paid leave on election day but does not cast his/her vote, can any action be taken against the individual?

Mandatory Holiday on Polling Day
In lieu of the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections, it is mandatory to declare a holiday with wages on the date of polling, i.e., 10th April 2014, without compensation for all locations as per the provisions of The Representation of People Act, 1951 (Central Act).
You need to declare a holiday on the date of polling, and a circular in this regard is to be displayed on the notice board. No employee should work on the polling day; hence, inform all workers/employees in advance.

My organization has only about 10-20% of voters who will cast their vote on the 10th in Delhi-NCR. The rest are from outside Delhi-NCR, where the voting dates are different. What should we do as an organization? Should we declare a holiday or leave for those who are from Delhi-NCR? Please suggest.
