The Exit polls predicted an easy win for the AAP, with most of them giving the party over 50 seats in the 70-member assembly. The BJP emerged as a distant second, with none of the polls predicting more than 26 seats for the saffron party. The polls also forecast another wipeout for Congress.

Tight security arrangements are in place at various centres across the national capital where the counting of votes will take place. The counting centres are located at CWG Sports Complex in East Delhi, NSIT Dwarka in West Delhi, Meerabai Institute of Technology and G B Pant Institute of Technology in Southeast Delhi, Sir CV Raman ITI, Dheerpur in Central Delhi, and Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Bawana in North Delhi, among other places.
