The Election Commission on August 31 deferred the Haryana assembly poll date to October 5 from October 1, keeping in mind a centuries-old festival of the Bishnoi community.
The Election Commission had previously announced that voting for the Haryana assembly election 2024 will take place in a single phase on October 1, while the counting of votes will happen on October 4, coinciding with that of Jammu and Kashmir assembly polls.
But according to new schedule, the counting of votes for Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana assembly polls will now be held on October 8 instead of October 4.
The term of the legislative assembly of Haryana is scheduled to end on November 3. The Election Commission recently visited the state to oversee the poll preparedness.

Haryana Assembly Elections 2019
The previous Haryana Legislative Assembly election took place on October 21, 2019, to choose 90 members of the assembly.
The voter turnout was 68.20% and the results were announced on October 24, 2019.
The Bharatiya Janata Party won the elections as the single largest party and formed alliance with the Jannayak Janta Party and seven Independent MLAs.
Manohar Lal Khattar from the BJP was sworn in as Chief Minister, and Dushyant Chautala from the JJP became Deputy Chief Minister in their new coalition government. Later when Khattar stepped down as CM, Nayab Singh took his place.
In the 2019 elections, the BJP had won all 10 seats in Haryana.
In this election, the primary contest was between the BJP and the Congress, which had aligned with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) under the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA).
Candidates from the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP), which contested all 10 seats, and those from the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), which contested seven and nine seats respectively, faced a major loss.
