Operational reports confirm that DUSU poll counting begins heightened security across major administrative sectors to maintain public order during the official evaluation of electronic voting machine ballots. Following a 40.46% voter turnout recorded during Friday’s polling sessions, election officials initiated formal tabulation procedures at 8:00 AM inside the Multipurpose Hall of the University Sports Stadium.

Over two thousand armed police personnel alongside paramilitary detachments established multi-tier security cordons around the North Campus stadium complex. Local law enforcement authorities restricted vehicular movement along major transit routes, including Chhatra Marg, University Road, and Probyn Road, to manage student crowds and prevent unauthorized gatherings. Furthermore, compliance officers enforce recent judicial directives banning victory processions, rallies, or public rallies to preserve campus safety throughout the tabulation window.

How Are Student Groups Competing In DUSU Elections?

DUSU elections feature candidates from the RSS-backed Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, Congress-affiliated National Students’ Union of India, and the joint AISA-SFI Left alliance. They are contesting four central panel posts: president, vice president, secretary, and joint secretary. Polling agents from each group are monitoring EVM tabulations under administrative supervision, aiming to ensure transparent counting and result declarations across all 52 participating Delhi University colleges.

Chief election officers expect to finalize electronic ballot tabulations and publicly declare winning candidates by Saturday afternoon following the completion of verified tally rounds. The administration aims to complete the verification process quickly to maintain campus order and prevent unauthorized post-election gatherings.
