58.06 percent of eligible voters cast their ballots this time for the 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly. This turnout is lower compared to the last three assembly elections.

In 2013, voter turnout was 65.63 percent, in 2015 it was 67.12 percent, and in 2020 it was 62.59 percent. In all three of those elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) formed the government in Delhi.

According to the exit polls, it is predicted that Congress may either fail to open its account or secure between 1 to 3 seats this time.
