Can article 25 and 26 help to exempt from election duty?

Fundamental rights can be curtailed as per procedure established by law.

That Privelege granted under  Article 25 and 26 of the Constitution is not to defeat any legal duty, but you can approach your District Election Officer to exepmpt you from the election duty by presenting your problems.

@Querist,

Article 25 and 26 of COI has nothing to do with your case.

Art. 25 is about Freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion.

Art. 26 is about Freedom to manage religious affairs.

Art. 25 talks about Freedom of Individual choice to follow or profess any religion whereas Art. 26 talks about Freedom to establish religious institution.

Your case clearly doesn't fall within the ambit of both of these articles.

The solution to your problem,as already suggested by Ld. Member Assumi,is to seek exemption by giving application to District Election Officer.

Further...{Only if a genuine need arises thereof}

Thanks,

If DEO exempts you from duty then you can go for pilgrimage.  He cannot be compelleted.

Try to convince election officer.  It is the only remedy.
