Voters were pleasantly surprised with innovative themes at several polling centres, as they turned up to exercise their franchise for the Delhi Assembly elections.

The Election Commission of India set up 56 model booths on 18 different themes, such as "spirit of democracy", "India's maritime glory", "heritage and culture: celebrating India's timeless legacy", "healthy choices", "healthy nation", "sustainability" and "sports and yoga". All polling stations in Delhi Cantonment were set up on themes of "rich history of weaponry/frigates/aircraft/aircraft carriers".
