The Election Commission of the Maldives (ECM) requested that the polling day be declared a public holiday due to the significant involvement of Government employees and the general public in various election-related activities. 

The ECM also requested that Monday, April 22, be designated as a public holiday due to numerous significant tasks such as vote counting, result announcements, and other election-related activities.
