As the campaign in Delhi comes to end, Delhi residents are eagerly awaiting the final outcome to the long-drawn acrimonious electoral battle. However, the results for thelection will not be out until 11 February (Tuesday) when Election Commission appointed officials will count the votes in a tightly guarded exercise, across all the 70 Assembly constituencies. However, in the meantime, exit poll surveys do provide a rough idea of the voting trend before the final results are out.

Till 6 pm, the voter turnout was recorded at 54.67 percent. No more people will be allowed inside poll stations now and only those who are still standing in queues will be allowed to cast their votes after 6 pm. Exit polls will be out shortly.

AAP, Congress and BJP are locked in a tri-party battle and the pre-election debate has been so acrimonious that an alliance at this point seems unlikely. Therefore any one of the three party will have to win at least 36 seats to form a government in the 70-member House.

The first numbers have started coming in as the clock struck 6.30. India Today-My Axis India has divided the polls district wise and they have predicted that West Delhi has predominantly voted for the Aam Aadmi Party. The pollster says that the AAP will win 9 of the 10 seats, while the BJP may win 1. The Congress, according to the pollster is unlikely to open its account.

Times Now–IPSOS Opinion Poll indicates that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has a clear edge in Delhi, with Arvind Kejriwal set to become chief minister again. The pollster said that the AAP will have a comfortable majority with 44 seats — a considerable hit from its cleansweep in 2015 but nonetheless a majority. The BJP is expected to win on 26 seats, while the Congres, like last time, will fail to win even a single seat.

India Today-My Axis India just put out the second set of numbers. The pollster has predicted that at least 7 to 9 seats out of the 10 in this district segment will be bagged by AAP, while the BJP could get 1 to 3 seats. Congress once again is expected to score a zero.

NDTV's poll of polls has predicted that Aam Aadmi Party will win at least 50 seats in Delhi, while the BJP will get around 19 seats. The survey says it is likely that the Congress may win at one seat. In last elections, Congress had drawn zero, while the BJP was restricted to 3 seats despite a Modi wave in Lok Sabha polls of 2014. The AAP had made a cleansweep by winning 67 out of 70 seats.

Here is an overall pictures of what the exit poll data predicts so far. All pollsters have unanimously claimed that AAP will have a comfortable majority despite a polarising campaign by the BJP. However, the saffron party will improve its tally from the last time, when it was restricted to just 3 seats.

If India Today-My Axis India polls are a reliable projection of voter behaviour, then BJP is likely to face a crushing defeat in its own bastion, which is currently represented by party's Delhi unit cheif Manoj Tiwari. The pollster said that AAP will get 7 to 9 seats out of the 10 in this segment. BJP will get only 1 to 3 seats. Congress once again is likely to get a zero.

However, Pradeep Gupta, chairman of My Axis India, waived aside this concern and claimed that these last minute votes could swing results when the margin between the winner and runner up is narrow. In these polls, however, he said that the BJP was nowhere close to AAP for these last few votes to matter.

Meanwhile, since most media partners of established pollsters start tabling numbers at 6 pm sharp, when the polling ends, the surveys only takes into account the opinions pf people who voted before 4 pm. They take the remaining two hours to process and combine those numbers. However, when the last minute surge is so huge, it is difficult to account for which way these voters will go.

The Delhi voter turnout exhibited an unnatural pattern this time. According to the Election Commission data, till 4 pm, only 42.29 percent votes had been polled. However, in the last two hours, the voting picked up considerably and the provisional data now states that 57.03 percent voted in these polls.

ABP C-voter survey also projected similar numbers. It claimed that AAP will win 7 to 9 seats while BJP may get 1 to 3 seats. Congress may land one seat.

According to India Today-My Axis India Polls, AAP is projected to win 9-10 seats in Chandni Chowk region, and the BJP is predicted to get only 0-1 seat. The Congress is nowehere to be seen, as per the surveys.

BJP Delhi chief Manoj Tiwari has dismissed all exit poll predictions, which have unanimously shown a poor performance for the BJP. He claimed that his party will form the next government with 48 seats.

Meanwhile, here is the overall picture of the Delhi Assembly Election 2020. All pollster have unanimously predicted a cleansweep for AAP, while an absolute wipeout for Congress. The BJP's tally is varying between 2 to 23.

AAP leader Atishi, reacting to the "sweep" predicted for the incumbent party in the Delhi Assembly election by the exit polls on Saturday evening, said that voters recognised that it's the state government's responsibility to provide the electorate with education, healthcare, and infrastructure facilities.

He was quoted by ANI as saying , "Certain exit polls are showing that BJP will win 26 seats, but let me tell you that all these exit polls will fail on 11 Feb. BJP will be forming govt in Delhi with over 48 seats."

Let us wait till results are out."

Contrary to what every exit poll is predicting, BJP MP Parvesh Sahib Singh had a completely different prediction, claiming 50 seats for the BJP and 16 seats for the AAP.

However, in the meantime, exit poll surveys do provide a rough idea of the voting trend before the final results are out.

Exit polls to 70 Assembly constituencies in the National Capital will be announced on Saturday (8 February) after 6.30 pm. This is because the Election Commission mandates all media houses and pollsters to hold back the survey data and their extrapolations until such time that the last vote has been cast. This is done to ensure that the predicted trends do not influence voter behaviour in any way. Many pollsters, including Chanakya, IPSOS and Republic TV-Jan Ki Baat polls, are expected to publish the Delhi Assembly Election 2020 exit poll as soon as the voting ends.

The Election Commission had issued a notification restricting media to conduct or publish any exit poll during Assembly elections in Delhi on 8 February. The ban will be on polling day between 8 am to 6.30 pm, the commission said.

Further, under Section 126(1)(b) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, displaying any election matter including results of any opinion poll or any other poll survey, in any electronic media, would be prohibited during the period of 48 hours, the EC said.
