Delhi Assembly Election Exit Polls: The voting for all 70 assembly seats in Delhi was held on Saturday with tight security arrangements across the national capital in view of ongoing anti-CAA protests at several places.
The voter turnout, however, remained dismal throughout the day but picked in the last hour. By 6 pm, the official closing time of polling, there were still people seen waiting in queues outside the polling booths.
The counting of votes will be conducted on February 11.
Over 1.47 crore voters were eligible to exercise their franchise in the electoral battle for Delhi, seen as a triangular contest among the ruling AAP, the Congress and the BJP.
While the AAP had fielded candidates on all 70 seats, the BJP and the Congress entered into electoral agreements with other parties.
While the BJP left three seats for its allies JD(U) and the LJP, the Congress had given four seats to the RJD considering the significant presence of Purvanchali voters or those who have roots in Bihar or eastern UP.

The ruling AAP is locked in a triangular contest with the BJP and the Congress but is favourite to retain the Union Territory.
The Kejriwal-led AAP had won 67 seats in the 70-member assembly in 2015 assembly elections, defying all expectations. The Congress failed to open its account in the assembly and the BJP was able to win three seats.
While the AAP hopes to repeat its performance, the BJP and the Congress are looking to bounce back in from the dismal performance of last assembly polls.

In view of the ongoing anti-CAA protests in Shaheen Bagh, the Delhi CEO Office put all five polling stations in the area under the "critical" category, and confidence-building measures are continuously being undertaken to reassure voters, officials said.
Delhi Chief Electoral Officer Ranbir Singh reiterated that the area is under "tight vigil" and "there is no obstruction" in areas where poll activities will be conducted, so voters will face no problems.
"As far as critical polling stations are concerned, there are 516 locations and 3,704 booths in that category," Singh said.
Besides police security, polling stations falling in the "critical category" get paramilitary cover. Activities will be monitored through webcasting, he said.
Delhi Police officials said they have categorised 3,141 'critical booths' and 144 'vulnerable booths' out of the total 13,750 polling booths. Two-hundred polling booths have been categorised as 'critical' and 90 as 'vulnerable' in North Delhi's Okhla (including Jamia Nagar and Seelampur).

The voting for all 70 assembly seats was held on Saturday with tight security arrangements across the national capital in view of ongoing anti-CAA protests at several places.
The officials said 60,000 security personnel, including 38,400 police personnel, 19,000 home guards and the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF). In addition to that, the police will use drones and social media monitoring for the polling day vigil.
Police held motorcycle and foot patrolling in sensitive areas, whereas paramilitary forces were deployed in sensitive booths across the city.
Drones mounted with cameras kept a watch on poll proceedings. Delhi Police will also install high-end Facial Recognition System in and around the 'vulnerable' polling booths.
"190 companies of paramilitary forces and 19000 home guards are also deployed for smooth conduct of elections tomorrow," Sharat Kumar Sinha, DCP, Nodal said on Friday.
"Not only Shaheen Bagh but all places which are 'critical' or 'vulnerable', adequate arrangements have been made there," he said.
