The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Saturday announced the single-phase voting for Haryana assembly elections on October 21, while the counting of votes will take place on October 24.

With the announcement of poll dates, Model Code of Conduct has come into effect in both the states.

Haryana has a strength of 90 seats out of which 17 are reserved for SC and none for SC. There are 1.82 crore registered voters in the state out of which 1.07 lakh are service voters.

In Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar-led BJP government is in power after the party won 47 out of a total of 90 seats in the 2014 Assembly elections, while the Congress was restricted to just 15 seats.

The five-year term of the Legislative Assemblies of Haryana will expire on November 2, Arora said.
