The Governor of Haryana has prioritized the ability of adult factory workers across the state to participate in the upcoming Lok Sabha 2024 General Election or the Legislative Assembly, as per the Election Commission of India’s schedule. In order to ensure maximum voter turnout, the Governor has invoked the authority granted by the Factories Act, 1948, to grant a leave to all adult workers who are registered voters in Haryana.
