Delhi Assembly Election 2025 has seen unique and engaging polling booth themes like astronauts, space technology, and interactive VR experiences. Discover how these creative ideas have boosted voter participation.
As the 2025 Delhi Assembly Elections unfold, voters across the national capital have been greeted with a unique celebration of democracy. The polling stations have been transformed into imaginative spaces that are attracting attention not just for their aesthetics, but also for the creative ways in which they are engaging the electorate. Voters have begun casting their ballots at 7 AM, and by 11 AM, the voter turnout had already reached 19.95%, with the highest participation noted in North East Delhi.
In a bid to enhance the voting experience, polling booths in various parts of Delhi have been decorated with creative themes that reflect India's technological advancements and space exploration. In a stunning display, the Vikas Puri Assembly Constituency took inspiration from India's aerospace achievements. Polling booths here were adorned with the theme "India’s Flight to the Stars." Images of rockets, astronauts, and satellites filled the space, creating an exciting atmosphere for voters.
One of the most unusual sights this election day was in West Delhi’s Vikas Puri. At the Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya (Block A), voters were treated to an incredible experience, which included live displays of astronaut costumes and satellite broadcasts. The polling booth had been transformed into an interactive "space station" complete with 3D virtual reality experiences and AstroNet — an engaging initiative to immerse citizens in space science.
The Election Commission aimed to make voting an experience that both engages and educates the masses. For children and young voters, the organizers set up tricolor painting stations where participants could showcase their patriotism and creativity by painting the Indian flag. This initiative was designed to stir feelings of national pride among the youth.
Nitin Shakya, the SDM of Patel Nagar, shared insights into the Election Commission's vision for the day. He mentioned that the goal was to make the polling experience fun, exciting, and unique, thereby reducing voter apathy. The involvement of astronaut-themed setups and the display of India’s strides in space technology is an effort to boost enthusiasm and remind voters of their pivotal role in shaping the country's future.
As the day progressed, it became evident that this approach was having a positive impact. The innovative arrangements in different polling booths, especially in areas like Vikas Puri, seemed to resonate well with the voters, keeping them engaged and excited to participate in the democratic process.
While East Delhi and North Delhi have also reported active voter participation, North East Delhi has emerged as the leading region for voter turnout, with many observers attributing this to the additional efforts taken to make voting more engaging.
Today’s voting experience in Delhi is not just about casting ballots; it's about celebrating the democratic spirit in a way that engages citizens with creativity, innovation, and fun. With an interactive approach to the election process, Delhi is setting an example of how elections can be more than just a political event – they can be a moment of national pride, collective participation, and joy.
