With 10 Lok Sabha constituencies, Haryana will witness a one-day voting process. In the preceding 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Haryana also held its polls in a single phase on May 12. The incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) clinched victory in all 10 seats during the 2019 polls, while the Congress, Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), and the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) failed to secure any seats.
Here's a quick look at the voting dates for Haryana's 10 Lok Sabha seats:
| Phase | Date | Constituencies |
|---|---|---|
| Sixth | May 25 | Ambala, Kurukshetra, Sirsa, Hisar, Karnal, Sonipat, Rohtak, Bhiwani-Mahendragarh, Gurugram, and Faridabad |
Now, let's rewind a bit and recall the past elections:
Back in 2014, the BJP clinched victory in 7 seats, while Congress managed to secure just one seat in Rohtak. The Indian National Lok Dal, led by Om Prakash Chautala, bagged two seats – Sirsa and Hisar.
Fast forward to 2019, Haryana boasted a voting population of 2.53 crore, comprising 1.34 crore men and 1.18 crore women. Notably, there were around 9.77 lakh first-time voters in the state during that election.
So, mark your calendars, fellow Haryanvis! It's time to make our voices heard on May 25th as we head to the polls to elect our representatives for the Lok Sabha.
