New Delhi: Delhi University students are voting to elect their new representatives as the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) Election 2026 gets underway. Thousands of students from different DU colleges are participating in the polling process to decide the leaders who will represent them for the upcoming academic year.

The election has once again brought campus politics into focus, with candidates competing for four key positions — President, Vice President, Secretary and Joint Secretary.

Students Choose Their Representatives Across DU Campuses

Polling is being conducted across various colleges affiliated with Delhi University, with students turning up at designated voting centres to cast their votes.

The DUSU election is among the most closely watched student elections in the country, as it provides a platform for young leaders to raise issues related to campus life, education, infrastructure and student welfare.

Major student organisations, including ABVP and NSUI, are among those participating in the electoral contest. Candidates have highlighted several student-related concerns during their campaigns, including better facilities, hostel issues, safety and academic reforms.

Security Arrangements Tightened for Smooth Voting

Authorities have made extensive security arrangements across university campuses to ensure peaceful polling. Security personnel have been deployed at key locations, while students have been advised to follow voting guidelines and carry valid identity cards.

The university administration has also issued instructions to maintain discipline during the election process and avoid any disruption on campuses.

DUSU Result and Vote Counting Date

After the completion of voting, the counting of votes will determine the winners for the four central posts of the student union. The results are expected to reveal the new faces who will lead the students’ body.

The DUSU elections have historically played an important role in shaping student leadership, with several former campus leaders later moving into active public life.
