DUSU Elections 2026: Voting Begins Amid Tight Security, Over 1.5 Lakh Students To Cast Votes
DUSU Election 2026: The Delhi University administration has set up 158 polling booths and 12 control rooms for the elections. Security arrangements have also been tightened across the university campus and surrounding areas.
Delhi University's 2026 DUSU elections saw over 2.75 lakh students casting their votes on Friday, with extensive security measures in place. Both the ABVP and NSUI were locked in a tight contest, vying for the DUSU presidency. Over 600 police personnel were deployed across the campus, and CCTV cameras and drones monitored activities during polling.
The election's significance was heightened by recent protests over exam irregularities and a building collapse, which exposed the university's hostel shortage. First-year students could vote with a fee receipt and ID, while second and third-year students needed a college ID. AAP's ASAP and the Left's AISA also fielded candidates in this year's elections.
