Four-time MLA Jagbir Singh Malik of Congress won the last three polls.
The 74-year-old Jat politician, a graduate in legislative law, faces BJP's Arvind Kumar Sharma, a 61-year-old dental surgeon and a four-term MP from an assortment of parties.
Sharma lost badly on a BJP ticket to Congressman Deepender Singh Hooda in this year's Lok Sabha polls in Rohtak; he had defeated the same opponent narrowly five years earlier.
The Haryana elections mark the first major direct contest between the BJP and Congress since the Lok Sabha polls. The outcome of this election is expected to be pivotal, as the winning party will likely leverage it to strengthen their narrative in other states with elections scheduled over the next few months.
The primary contenders in the Haryana race are the BJP, Congress, Aam Aadmi Party, INLD-BSP, and JJP-Azad Samaj Party. Despite the presence of multiple parties, most constituencies are anticipated to witness a head-to-head battle between the BJP and Congress.
According to an official statement by CEO Agarwal, 93 counting centers have been established across 90 assembly constituencies in 22 districts of Haryana. Notably, two counting centers each have been set up for the constituencies of Badshahpur, Gurugram, and Pataudi, with one center each for the remaining 87 constituencies. Additionally, the Election Commission of India has appointed 90 counting observers to oversee the process.
The counting will begin with postal ballots, followed by Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) results after a 30-minute interval. Updates on each round of counting will be promptly shared, as stated by the CEO.
A total of 1,031 candidates are contesting across Haryana's 90 constituencies, including 464 Independent candidates and 101 women. The single-phase voting took place on October 5.
