Who said elections have to be all serious and boring? The Delhi Elections 2025 proved that democracy can come with a side of humour, creativity, and relatability, thanks to brands hopping onto the meme bandwagon. From witty puns to Delhi-specific humour, these campaigns turned voting into the day’s hottest trend.

Whether it was food, fashion, love, or careers, brands pulled out all the stops to connect with the voters, making democracy not just a duty but a moment to celebrate. These campaigns didn’t just stop at humor—they made voting relatable, shareable, and fun. Here's how they encouraged Delhiites to cast their vote—with a chuckle and a nudge!

Swiggy got Delhiites drooling with their post, saying, “Now that I have your attention, don’t forget to vote today!” They paired steaming momos with civic duty, knowing exactly how to speak Delhi’s love language: food.

Zomato’s Cheeky Ink Reference

Zomato played it straight but sharp, posting a snapshot of an inked finger and teasing, “Delhi, we are not delivering this ink. Please go out and get it yourself.” A crisp call-to-action with their signature sass!

Tinder’s Hottest Match

Shaadi.com’s Heartfelt Comparison

Shaadi.com nailed it with their “Dilli ka Chunaav vs. Dil ka Chunaav” meme. One inked finger for elections, and another for love—because why not multitask?
