After facing flak for not announcing the final voter turnout for the Delhi Assembly Polls, the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer on Sunday, 9 February, announced that the final voter turnout during Delhi Assembly Elections was recorded at 62.59 percent. Addressing a press conference in the national capital, Singh further announced that the highest voter turnout was recorded in Ballimaran assembly constituency, with 71.6 percent people coming out to vote, while the lowest voter turnout was recorded in Delhi Cantonment, where only 45.4 percent cast their vote.
