MCD polls votes will be counted on December 7.
AAP national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday urged people to exercise their franchise for setting up an honest establishment in the MCD that delivers results.
Kejriwal cast his vote along with his parents, wife and children at a polling booth in Civil Lines here. Exiting the booth holding his parents' hands, he said, "People should vote for the party that is honest and works. (Vote) For those who focus on the cleanliness of the city and not those who keep creating hurdles."
Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta cast his vote along with his wife at West Patel Nagar.
Anil Kumar, the Delhi Congress president, however, found his name missing from the voters' list. "My name is neither in the voter list nor in the deleted list. My wife has voted. Officials are checking it," Kumar said at a polling booth in Dallupura.
Delhi Lt Governor V K Saxena and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appealed to people to cast votes in the MCD polls.
"I appeal to all voters in Delhi to exercise their franchise today and fulfil their responsibility of shaping the city," the LG tweeted.
According to data shared by State Election Commission officials, the total number of voters in Delhi is 1,45,05,358 of which 78,93,418 are male, 66,10,879 female and 1,061 transgender persons.
Authorities have set up 13,638 polling stations across Delhi. According to data, 3,360 booths in 493 locations have been identified as "critical" or "sensitive".
Sixty-eight model polling stations and as many pink polling stations covering all assembly segments in the city have been established, poll officials said.
Both the AAP and the BJP have exuded confidence that they will emerge victorious in the polls while the Congress is seeking to regain lost turf.
This is the first civic election after the fresh delimitation exercise. The MCD poll is being held days after the first phase of the Gujarat assembly elections, and a day ahead of its second phase where also the AAP's entry has disrupted the political equation of the western coastal state.
This is also the first civic poll being held in the national capital after the February 2020 riots.
The erstwhile MCD, established in 1958, was trifurcated in 2012 during Sheila Dikshit's tenure as chief minister. Between 2012 and 2022, Delhi had 272 wards and three corporations -- North Delhi, South Delhi and East Delhi municipal corporations. These three civic bodies were reunified into the Municipal Corporation of Delhi which came into existence on May 22.
