Delhi Assembly Elections 2025: The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday announced the schedule for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. According to the dates released by the poll panel, Delhi will vote in a single-phase assembly election on February 5. The counting of votes in all 70 constituencies across the national capital will be held on February 8. This time, over 1.53 crore people are on the voter list. Out of the total voters, around 83 lakh are male voters and over 70 lakh are female voters.
Notably, voters whose names are not on the list cannot cast their votes. The list was released amid the ongoing war of words between the AAP and the BJP. In the 2020 polls, the AAP registered a landslide victory for the second consecutive time by winning 63 seats, while the BJP managed to bag only seven. The Congress again failed to open its account in Delhi in 2020.
Single-phase elections to be held in Delhi with polling on February 5, said CEC Rajiv Kumar on Tuesday. The counting of votes will be held on February 8.

There are around 70 steps in it… electoral roll, election process, EVMs, polling stations, Form 17 (C), counting stations, where political parties and candidates are present there with us. Whenever electoral rolls are formed, regular meetings are held, it cannot be done without Form 6, every part has the right to appoint a BLA. Whichever claims and objections are raised, they are shared with each political party at the same time; draft is put up on the website; no deletion is possible until there is Form 7 produced…” says CEC Rajiv Kumar.
