DUSU Elections Snapshot

In the recent DUSU (Delhi University Students Union) election held on Friday, twenty-four candidates were vying for positions. These elections marked a return to the electoral process after the previous ones in 2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and academic disruptions in 2022. Chander Shekhar, the chief election officer, reported a voter turnout of 42 per cent, which was a slight improvement from the 2019 turnout of 39.90 per cent. However, it did not reach the peak seen in 2018, when turnouts reached 44.46 per cent and 42.8 per cent in 2018 and 2017, respectively. The central panel elections in 52 colleges and departments utilize electronic voting, while college union polls rely on paper ballots.
