Against Haryana's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1968), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained30 (37%)
- Changed hands49 (60%)
- New seat2 (2%)
30 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 49 changed hands. 2 did not exist at the previous election.
India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
