Delhi logged a voter turnout of over 60 per cent in the assembly election, which was held in a single phase on Wednesday.

“The same shall continue to be updated by the field level officers as polling parties keep returning and will be available on the VTR app,” the Election Commission said.
Notably, the turnout was lower than the 62.59 per cent recorded during the 2020 assembly election.
Later, the exit poll results started coming in soon afterwards, with several of them predicting a victory for the BJP over the ruling AAP, while the Congress was projected to suffer yet another rout.
