Against Punjab's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1967), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained18 (17%)
- Changed hands79 (76%)
- New seat7 (7%)
18 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 79 changed hands. 7 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.
