Delhi recorded its highest ever voter turnout of over 66 per cent in the elections to the 70-member Assembly yesterday. Talking to reporters last evening, Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi, Vijay Dev said that the polling was peaceful and incident-free. He said that final figures are being compiled.

Polling, which was extended in some constituencies beyond the scheduled polling hour, started on a dull note, but picked up later to finish with heavy polling. About 1.2 crore voters, including over 4 lakh first timers, were eligible to exercise their franchise at 11,763 polling booths.

Counting of votes for Delhi, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan Assembly polls will be held on Sunday, while for Mizoram it will take place on Monday.
