Delhi Poll 2025 Live: Low Voter Turnout, Whom Will People Choose?

Delhi Poll 2025 Live: Low Voter Turnout, Whom Will People Choose? | ABP NEWS

In the New Delhi area, polling booths have been set up with unique arrangements by the Election Commission. Voters, after casting their votes, are receiving saplings as return gifts, which is a new initiative to promote environmental awareness. A report from an ABP News correspondent showed voters receiving these plants along with the ink marks that indicate they've voted. Meanwhile, the election in the Chandni Chowk constituency is witnessing a low voter turnout, with only about 35-40 votes cast in the first 90 minutes of polling. The cold weather could be a factor in the sluggish participation. On the other hand, in the Kalakaji constituency, where Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s candidate Atishi is running, security measures are tight, with barricades placed around sensitive polling areas. Atishi’s local ties to Kalakaji give her an advantage over her external opponents from BJP and Congress, adding a competitive edge to the race. The voter turnout across Delhi, as per the initial hours, stands at 8.1%, signaling that there’s a need for citizens to increase their participation to make the election more reflective of public opinion. MCD elections, particularly in areas like Jangpura, are under close scrutiny, with candidates like Manish Sisodia, known for his work in education, confident of strong support.
