Delhi University Plans EVM Introduction for 2026 Student Union Elections
Delhi University (DU) has announced the schedule for the 2026 Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections, with nomination submissions due by September 10 and voting on September 18. This year, DU plans to introduce electronic voting machines (EVMs) for college-level student union elections to replace paper ballots, aiming to streamline the process and reduce logistical challenges. The university has procured around 1,000 EVMs, expanding their use beyond DUSU elections, which have used EVMs since 2006. Campaign restrictions and procedural changes are also expected to regulate the electoral process.
