Delhi will go to the polls Dec 4. It has 70 constituencies and nine districts. So far, 629 candidates have filed their nominations.
"As the Delhi Election Commission will remain closed Friday on account of Muharram, and since Saturday is the last day for filing the nomination, most of the candidates have filed their nomination today," the official said.
Prominent leaders who filed their nominations Thursday were Delhi Chief Minister Shiela Dikshit and Bharatiya Janata Party's chief ministerial candidate Harsh Vardhan.
