A big swing back to Congress
What happened
Congress returned to power, regaining a majority after several years out of office.
The Indian National Congress won 51 of the 90 seats on offer.
That was 5 seats more than it needed for a majority.
Its nearest rival, the Janata Party, won 16 seats.
What changed
Almost the entire map changed hands from the previous election, a landslide swing away from the party that had governed since 1987.
83 of the state's 90 seats changed hands this time.
The single largest movement was 31 seats shifting from the Lok Dal to the INC.
The LKD's own seat count collapsed by this election.
Notable numbers
A few numbers from the results are worth knowing on their own.
The closest race was in Rohat, Haryana, decided by a margin — how far ahead the winner finished, in votes, over whoever came second — of just 38 votes.
At the other extreme, Adampur, Haryana saw the widest margin of the night, with the winner ahead by 43.1% of the vote.
Turnout — the share of registered voters who actually cast a ballot — peaked in Chhachhrauli, Haryana, reaching 75.7%.
Faridabad, Haryana had the largest electorate of any seat that year, with 1,80,067 people on the rolls.
The backdrop
Fewer voters turned out this time than in the previous election, even as the result itself swung sharply.
Turnout fell by -6.5 pp across Haryana, to 63.5%.
