DUSU 2026 Election LIVE: Voting to Begin Soon as Delhi University Gears up for Student Body Polls
More than 2,000 police and paramilitary personnel are deployed as students vote for four central panel posts in a closely watched three-way contest.
- On Friday, September 18, 2026, Delhi University students began voting for the Delhi University Students' Union central panel, featuring a three-way contest between the RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad , Congress-backed National Students Union , and AISA-SFI alliance.
- Student safety and accommodation emerged as critical campaign issues following the Satya Niketan building collapse earlier this month, prompting the NSUI to launch its 'My Campus, My Manifesto' campaign to gather student feedback and incorporate concerns into its agenda.
- Delhi University deployed 1,000 Electronic Voting Machines , with 960 machines used today and 40 held in reserve, while more than 2,000 police and paramilitary personnel were stationed across North Campus and South Campus to maintain security.
- Opposing what it terms 'money and muscle politics,' the AISA-SFI has centered its platform on 'alternative politics,' while the ABVP seeks to repeat its 2025 success, having won three of the four central panel posts.
- Traffic restrictions remain in force on Chhatra Marg and University Road until results are declared, with vote counting scheduled for Saturday, September 19, at the Multipurpose Hall, University Sports Stadium on North Campus.
