Complaints of voters facing problems trickled in from some municipal wards as Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) at some polling booths did not work properly in the city.
There were also reports of people not finding their names in voter list.
Former Delhi minister and BJP leader Arvind Singh Lovely also could not cast his vote early morning as there were some problems in the EVMs at the polling booth in East Azad Nagar area.
"I reached the polling station at 8 AM. However, I could not vote as the EVM was not working so I had to leave due to some urgent work. I will go later to cast my vote," Lovely said.
There were also complaints of faulty EVMs in North Delhi Burari area and South West Delhi's Kapashera due to which voting had to be stopped for a few minutes.
"There were few complaints of the functioning of EVMs at Burari and Kapashera which has been rectified," an official source said.
Apart from this, at GTB ward, voters had to face problems as some EVMs were not functioning properly.
