Counting of votes for Delhi Assembly elections began at 8 am on Tuesday with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party eyeing a third straight win in the assembly that has 70 seats. The exit polls have predicted a big win for the ruling AAP even as BJP leaders put up a brave face, hoping that the results will trump the surveys.
The result trends to Delhi Assembly elections will be available with effect from 8 AM, the Election Commission has said.
The Election Commission on Sunday announced that the final voter turnout was 62.59%, five per cent less than 2015.
Ballimaran constituency recorded the highest voter turnout of 71.6% among all the 70 assembly seats in the national capital, while Delhi Cantonment brought up the rear in polling percentage, according to data shared by officials on Sunday.
Okhla constituency recorded 58.84%. Shaheen Bagh and Jamia Nagar fall in Okhla assembly constituency, where hectic polling had taken place till late afternoon. Shaheen Bagh has been the epicentre of anti-CAA protests in Delhi, running into over 50 days now.
Over 1.47 crore people were eligible to vote in the Delhi polls, including 2,32,815 in the age group of 18-19.
The turnout in the 2015 Assembly polls stood at 67.47%.
The Delhi CEO Ranbir Singh said the counting will begin at 8 am sharp and will be held in multiple rounds.
There are 672 candidates -- 593 men and 79 women - in the fray for 70 seats of Delhi assembly.
The ruling AAP is locked in a triangular contest with the BJP and the Congress but is favourite to retain the power. The Kejriwal-led AAP had won 67 seats in the 70-member assembly in 2015 assembly elections, defying all expectations. The Congress failed to open its account in the assembly and the BJP was able to win three seats.
While the AAP hopes to repeat its performance, the BJP and the Congress are looking to bounce back in from the dismal performance of last assembly polls.
