1967 Haryana Legislative Assembly election

The 1967 Haryana Legislative Assembly election was held on February 15, 1967, to elect members to the Haryana Legislative Assembly, following the state's formation in 1966. This election marked a significant political event as it was the first legislative assembly election since Haryana became a separate entity, carved out from Punjab. The Indian National Congress emerged as the dominant party, securing a majority amidst a backdrop of changing political dynamics in northern India. The election results reflected the shifting allegiances and emerging regional identities within Haryana. The voter turnout was notable, indicating robust civic engagement, and the assembly convened shortly after the elections to address regional development and governance issues.
