558 members turn up to vote on third day of DDCA elections

NEW DELHI: As expected, the number of voters swelled on Saturday, the third and penultimate day of polling in the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) elections, and 558 members exercised their franchise. Interestingly, several lawyers, including Sangeeta, wife of late DDCA vice-president Chetan Chauhan, turned up.

On the first of polling, 306 DDCA members had voted and 478 on the second. So far, a total of 1,342 members have cast their votes, according to the assistant electoral officer.

Going by the trend, the number could touch the 2,000 mark. In a house of 4,270 voters, contestants for the six posts have been expecting less than 2,000 people to turn up to vote at the Ferozeshah Kotla grounds, considering the rising Covid-19 cases and pollution in and around Delhi. IANS
