NEW DELHI: Delhi University authorities are geared up for the keenly contested students union elections where over one lakh voters will be exercising their franchise tomorrow.

The voting for DUSU elections will take place across 50 university's colleges through 750 electronic voting machines (EVMs).

The results will be declared on Saturday. Last year, BJP's Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad ( ABVP) had won three out of four union posts while the National Students Union of India ( NSUI) of Congress got one post.

"With over 1,10,000 voters, the voting will take place across 50 colleges of the university from morning to evening," D S Rawat, Returning Officer (DUSU elections), said today.

According to DU authorities, the timings for voting for students of morning colleges will be from 8.30 AMto 12.30 PM while the students of evening colleges can cast their votes from 3 PM to 7 PM.

Rawat said 750 EVMs would be used for DUSU elections, adding that adequate security arrangements have also been made at each and every polling centre to prevent any untoward incident.

"The results of DUSU elections will be declared by Saturday afternoon," he added.

Besides ABVP and NSUI backed candidates, All India Students Association (AISA) and several Independent candidates are also contesting for the positions of DUSU president, vice-president, secretary and joint-secretary.
