Delhi Election 2025: Why is voting held mid-week and not on weekend? CEC Rajiv Kumar explains

Live Mint  

Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said on Tuesday that the decision to hold voting in the Delhi Assembly Election 2025 on a Wednesday was "deliberate". While announcing the poll schedule for Maharashtra last October, Rajiv Kumar had said, "You will notice that the date of the poll is Wednesday. Kumar had then said the commission has observed that urban voters tend to combine weekends with the polling day holiday for getaways, etc., and skip polling. "The entire election process after counting will be complete by February 10," said Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar.
