Token contract returns 0 votes for an address even after minting tokens for the aforementioned address

[phoenikx]

Lets say we have an address x

balanceOf(x) returns 0

mint(x, 10) -> passes

balanceOf(x) returns 10

delegate(x) -> passes

getVotes(x) -> still returns 0

Am I doing anything wrong?

I guess you need to self-delegate votes before you can delegate to someone else. If x is the sender, your code works fine.
