On the eve of the Dec 4 Delhi assembly polls, the Delhi Election Commission Tuesday sent text messages to people, reminding them to cast their ballots.

The messages from the Delhi's Chief Electoral Office read: "Delhi goes to polls on Dec 4, 2013 - Don't forget to exercise your rights."

Many received such messages on their mobile phones.

"I just received the text urging me to vote tomorrow (Wednesday). It is a good initiative by the Election Commission," said Amit Rang of south Delhi.

Around 1.19 voters will cast their ballots to choose the fifth Delhi assembly which has 70 members.
