Students’ High Enthusiasm for DUSU Polls
The DUSU elections, scheduled for September 18, have created a wave of enthusiasm among students across campuses. The vote counting will be held on September 19.
Students expressed that this election is not just about politics but also about addressing ground-level issues such as youth special buses, hostel allocation, and academic reforms. One candidate highlighted that “25 youth special buses have already been launched in Delhi this year, and a centralized hostel allocation system has also started.”
Voting Guidelines Released
Delhi University administration issued detailed guidelines for polling:
- First-year students without ID cards will be allowed to vote by showing a valid government-issued ID such as Aadhaar, voter card, PAN, or driving license.
- Second- and third-year students will only be permitted to vote with their university-issued ID cards.
Tight Security and Strict Rules
To ensure smooth polling, Delhi Police has deployed heavy security around campus. New rules include:
- No posters, banners, or wall graffiti allowed.
- No night rallies with vehicles.
- Campaigning restricted mainly to social media platforms.
ABVP vs NSUI – The Main Contest
The election this year is expected to be a direct face-off between ABVP and NSUI, the two dominant student organizations. Candidates alleged administrative hurdles in the nomination process but remained optimistic about gaining support from thousands of students across the university.
With heightened security, strict court-monitored guidelines, and increased student enthusiasm, the stage is set for one of the most keenly watched student union elections in recent years.
