The election campaign for the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025 officially ended on Monday evening, and now, not only the national capital but the entire country is focused on the 70 assembly seats in Delhi. Voting will take place on Wednesday, February 5, and the results will be announced on February 8. This election is expected to see a triangular contest, unlike the previous two elections (2015 and 2020), where the battle was mainly between BJP and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), with AAP securing a one-sided victory. Before AAP's rise, Congress ruled Delhi for 15 years, while BJP has been struggling to form a government in the capital for the past 27 years.

Voter Statistics in Delhi: Delhi has a total of 1 crore 55 lakh 24 thousand 858 voters, which includes 83 lakh 49 thousand 645 men, 71 lakh 73 thousand 952 women, and 1,261 transgender voters. In recent months, there has been a slight increase in the number of male and female voters, while transgender voter numbers have increased by 30. Before heading to vote, ensure your name is registered in the voter list and carry identification documents such as your Aadhaar card or voter ID with you to the polling booth.

What is VVPAT? Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) ensures that the vote you cast for your chosen candidate is recorded correctly. After you vote using the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM), the VVPAT will print a slip that shows the candidate's photo, party symbol, and serial number. This printout is visible for seven seconds, allowing voters to verify that their vote has been cast correctly. If there is an issue, voters can inform the presiding officer for further checks. In case of any irregularity, voting may be temporarily halted for verification.

  • Driving License

  • Photo Identity Card issued by the Government (Central/State/PSUs/Public Limited Companies)
