NEW DELHI: More than 15.5 million people across Delhi will vote in assembly elections on February 5, the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced on Tuesday, laying the foundation for a high-voltage contest that will decide the future of the national capital.
The votes will be counted on February 8.
The elections will also be a crucial comment about governance in a city of 20 million people that has been caught in an acrimonious battle between two divergent power centres and wracked by crumbling infrastructure, civic decay and a string of gang-related crimes.
"Delhi symbolises diversity, with people from various states and cultures residing here. This diversity increases the responsibility of Delhiites. I hope 'Dilli Dil Se Vote Karegi (Delhi will vote from the heart)'," said chief election commissioner Rajiv Kumar.
