They don’t have to. The head teacher and governors can make alternative arrangements for the day by holding classes in another building, although this is often logistically difficult. The lost day could also be made up at the beginning or end of term, or, with adequate notice and planning, training days could be organised to coincide with election dates. General elections and by-elections will be less easily dealt with.
