Overview
- Officials recorded 38.51% voter participation by the close of polling across 12 wards.
- Turnout varied sharply by ward, from 55.93% in Chandni Mahal to 26.7% in Greater Kailash.
- The State Election Commission forwarded a voter-list misuse complaint to the Election Commission of India and directed booth staff to run stricter identity checks.
- Parties cast the vote as a political litmus test in the first direct contest between the BJP, AAP and Congress since the February Assembly election.
- Most seats were vacated after councillors moved to the Assembly or Parliament, making these bypolls a restoration of local representation rather than a shift in control.
