Utilization of the gym/community room/theater stage is never 100% anyway so on election Tuesday we'd spend a very late in the season gym class playing softball outside instead of field hockey in the gym, or stagecraft class would cohabitate with the wood shop for a day thus leaving the auditorium open.
Because of various long term migration patterns at least in the USA we also have districts that are practically emptied out despite having huge schools so you could give the voters an entire floor if needed, and other districts that are so packed I know personally of two schools that have two gymnasiums so you just dedicate one gym for one day.
School day off has been growing in the USA and I look forward to voting days being a holiday someday. Its a bit tricky because voter participation rates are low in the USA and some voters are uninformed enough to actually think we only have an election every four years, LOL, whereas its more like twice a year plus special elections where I live.
Of course if voting could change anything it would be banned, and we're replacing philosophical politics with identity politics so soon all that'll matter at voting time is the genetics of your parents. Already at that point with some demographics. Still, its interesting.
