Delhi University students begin voting in the DUSU elections 2026-27 on September 18, with polling conducted across member colleges. Sources report polling in two shifts: morning hours from 8:30 am to 1 pm and an evening session from 3 pm to 7:30 pm. EVMs are sealed after voting, and results are expected the following day, September 19, at North Campus.
All outlets describe extensive security arrangements. Times of India cites the deployment of over 2,000 police and paramilitary personnel across Delhi University campuses, while NDTV reports tighter security across campus and surrounding areas, with administrative preparations including 158 polling booths and 12 control rooms. Another measure highlighted by Times of India is restricted vehicular movement on key roads until results are declared.
Across the reports, student organisations are participating in the election contests, and polling proceeds with day and evening student schedules. The differing emphasis is mainly on the scale of security deployments (police and paramilitary numbers) versus the election infrastructure (booths and control rooms) and the detailed timetable and counting date.
