Sources: Reuters India and Bhutan public holidays. Bhutan's chief election commissioner, Kunzang Wangdi, told Reuters that voting in the first ever elections in Bhutan, would be held in two phases; in February, all registered political parties can contest, and then the two getting the most votes will face off in the second and final round in March.Analysis: Recall from our news story of May 28, that after the first mock-elections, held on May 2, it was decided that henceforth a public holiday would be declared on the occasion of any general election. This means that we can expect a one-off public holiday in Bhutan in February 2008, and then a subsequent one-off public holiday in March 2008. As soon as these 2 dates are announced we will announce them to the subscribers to the Q++ Studio Worldwide Public Holidays Database.
