The Story in Brief
Delhi University announced on August 13, 2026, that voting for the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) office-bearers and Central Council members will be held on September 18. Nomination papers must be submitted by September 10, with scrutiny starting at 3:15 p.m. on the same day. The deadline to withdraw nominations is noon on September 11, and the final candidate list will be released at 5 p.m. that day. Counting of votes will take place on September 19.
Day-class students can vote from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., while evening-class students will vote from 3 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Candidates for office-bearer posts must submit papers at the Conference Centre in North Campus. The university said the election will follow the DUSU Code of Conduct and court directions, including the Supreme Court's Lyngdoh Committee recommendations.
The Indian Opinion
Every year, DUSU elections bring predictable hype about 'student politics revival' while actual turnout remains low and campus issues like fee hikes and hostel shortages get ignored. The real test is not who wins but how many students bother to vote. Last year's turnout was around 40 per cent, will this time cross half the electorate? That number will tell us if students see the union as relevant or just a photo-op for party flags.
