Delhi Assembly Elections 2025 – What You Need to Know

Delhi is gearing up for another round of assembly elections and the buzz is real. From the big parties announcing their tickets to the weather warnings that might affect turnout, there’s a lot happening. This guide pulls together the most important facts so you can stay informed and ready to cast your vote.

Key Dates, Voter Registration and How to Vote

The election commission has set the polling day for 15 February 2025. Early voting will be available from 12 to 14 February for senior citizens, persons with disabilities and those who can’t make it to the booth on the main day. If you’re not already on the electoral roll, you can register online or at any local election office up to two weeks before the first early‑voting day.

On polling day, the process is straightforward: show your voter ID, get a slip, and head into the booth. The booths are spread across the city’s 70 constituencies, each covering a mix of residential and commercial areas. Remember, the last few minutes can get crowded, so arriving early can save you a lot of waiting.

Main Parties, Candidates and Hot Issues

The big players are the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress (INC). AAP is campaigning on its track record of water, electricity and health services, while BJP is focusing on national security and infrastructure projects. Congress is trying to revive its base by promising jobs and education reforms.

Key issues that voters care about include water scarcity, traffic congestion, air quality and the rising cost of living. The recent heavy rains and floods have made drainage and flood‑control a hot topic, and many candidates are promising new measures to tackle these problems.

Local candidates are also making headlines. In the Chandni Chowk constituency, the incumbent AAP MLA is being challenged by a BJP veteran who was a former Delhi police officer. In South Delhi, the race is between a young AAP activist and a Congress leader who previously served as a state minister.

If you’re undecided, pay attention to the candidate’s track record, how they respond to constituent concerns, and whether they have a clear plan for the issues that affect your daily life. Attend a local rally, watch the debate on TV, or check the official candidate profiles on the election commission’s website.

Finally, keep an eye on the weather updates. The India Meteorological Department has issued alerts for possible showers in early February, especially in the northern parts of the city. Bad weather can delay traffic and affect turnout, so plan your route and consider alternative transport options.

With the election day just weeks away, staying informed is the best way to make your vote count. Check the official website for the latest updates, verify your polling booth location, and spread the word to friends and family. Your participation matters, and a well‑informed voter helps shape Delhi’s future.
