The Congress, which has been drawing blank in the last two Assembly elections, is also hopeful of making some inroads in the city. Delhi’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Alice Vaz said that as many as 5,000 personnel, including counting supervisors, counting assistants, micro-observers, and supporting staff, will be deployed for counting of votes and a random selection of five VVPATs (voter verifiable paper audit trails) will be done in each assembly constituency in view of the fairness of the counting process.

Additionally, 10,000 police personnel, including two paramilitary companies at each centre, have been put in place for the 19 counting centres. “We have made robust security arrangements (for counting day). Only authorised personnel will be allowed inside the counting centres, where the use of mobile phones will be strictly prohibited,” Special Commissioner of Police Devesh Chandra Srivastava said while addressing a press conference earlier in the day.

Postal ballots will be counted first, followed by the counting of Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) votes. Trends are expected to emerge within the first few hours, while final results may be declared by late afternoon or evening. The wait is on for the Delhi Election Results.

In the 2025 Assembly elections held on February 5, Delhi recorded a voter turnout of 60.54 per cent, marking a decline of approximately 2.5 percentage points compared to the 2020 polls. According to the data shared by the Election Commission of India (ECI), a total of 50,42,988 male voters and 44,08,606 female voters cast their ballots to elect representatives for the 70-member Delhi Assembly.

Mustafabad registered the highest voter turnout at 69.01 per cent, with more than 2.9 lakh male voters and 1.08 lakh female voters casting their ballots. Meanwhile, Mehrauli saw the lowest turnout at 53.02 per cent, where over 61,000 male voters and 53,578 female voters participated in the polling process. Some key constituencies in the electoral battle include the New Delhi seat of Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal, Kalkaji — represented by Chief Minister Atishi, Jungpura — held by former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, and Greater Kailash — represented by Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj.

Multiple exit polls predicted a massive setback for Arvind Kejriwal’s party, plagued by corruption allegations, and suggested the BJP’s return to the national capital with a thumping majority. Exit polls have also predicted yet another rout for the Congress, which ruled the city for 15 straight years till 2013. At least six exit polls predicted a BJP victory, while two said the AAP would retain power in Delhi. Two other polls showed a close contest between AAP and the BJP, with an edge for the saffron party.

Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva has predicted that his party will secure around 50 seats, while AAP has rejected the exit polls, asserting it will form the government again with its convener Arvind Kejriwal becoming chief minister for the fourth time. The Delhi Election Results have created excitement among the political parties.
