Haryana Assembly Elections 2024: The Election Commission of India (ECI) today (August 16) announced the date of Haryana Assembly Elections 2024. The polling will take place in the state on October 1 (Tuesday) and result will be declared on October 4 (Friday).
Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said, "Assembly Elections will be held in one phase; voting on October 1. Counting of votes will take place on October 4". Haryana will go to polls in a single phase on October 1, the Election Commission announced on Friday.
Haryana Assembly elections will be conducted in a single phase on October 1, coinciding with the last phase of Jammu and Kashmir. Notably, the Assembly elections are due in three states including Haryana, Maharashtra, and Jharkhand.
The terms of legislative assemblies in Haryana and Maharashtra are set to expire on November 3 and November 26 respectively, while Jharkhand’s assembly term concludes in January next year.
"Total electors in Haryana are 2.01 crore, including 10,321 centenarians", CEC Rajiv Kumar added. At least 4.52 lakh will be first-time voters in Haryana.
When is the last day of filing nominations?
The last day to file the nominations of Haryana will be September 12. The date of scrutiny of the nominations is September 13. The last date for the withdrawal of candidatures will be September 16. The term of the current government in Haryana will end on November 3, 2024, and elections will take place in 90 legislative assembly constituencies in the state.
After the 2019 elections, the BJP, with 40 seats in the 90-member assembly, formed a coalition government with the JJP. The JJP had won 10 seats, while the Congress had won 31 seats. The BJP-JJP alliance broke earlier this year. In 2024, Haryana is likely to see a four-way contest between the BJP, the Congress, the JJP, and the AAP.
