The #DelhiElection2020 voting percentage is hovering around 57-60% at 6 pm.
From a low 30% at 2 pm it jumped to 57-60%
What does that mean?

One, either BJP or AAP managed to mobilise their cadres. Here, BJP is at a distinct advantage since they have a larger cadre base, more money and a better organisation.
However, AAP has built a strong cadre that loves to fight like a guerrilla. +
AAP also scores in pockets and there could be a reasonable chance they scored.
Second, this means that a sizable number of people stepped out to vote knowing that important issues are at stake. A near 60% vote is not a bad score for any city.
It shows that despite being a little lazy, people still care. And that is a good thing.
But watch out for Feb 11. Most exit polls including Axis, which was spot on with the 2019 general elections, says that AAP is clearly ahead with nearly 50-56 seats.
The exit polls may or may not be true. But this will be an important result to watch out for. How Delhi votes will be a key template to study carefully for the next phase of politics in India.
Sounds incredible?
Not really, as I wrote earlier today:
