The '''Haryana Legislative Assembly''' ([[ISO 15919|ISO]]: ''Hariyāṇā Vidhāna Sabhā'') is the [[unicameral legislature]] of the Indian state of [[Haryana]]. The seating of the assembly is at [[Chandigarh]], the capital of the state. There are {{wikidata|property|P1342}} seats in the house filled by direct election using a single-member [[first-past-the-post voting]] system. The term of office is five years.<ref name="HVS">{{cite web |title=Haryana Vidhan Sabha |url=http://legislativebodiesinindia.nic.in/haryana.htm |publisher=Legislative Bodies in India website |access-date=29 January 2011 |archive-date=26 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181226050146/https://legislativebodiesinindia.nic.in/haryana.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Significance==
[[Council of Ministers of Haryana]] is responsible to '''Haryana Legislative Assembly'''.

==History==
The body was founded in 1966, when the state was created from part of the state of Punjab, by the [[Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966]]. The house initially had 54 seats, ten reserved for [[scheduled castes]], this was increased to 81 seats in March 1967, and to 90 seats (including 17 reserved seats) in 1977.<ref>{{cite web |title=Haryana Legislative Assembly |url=http://legislativebodiesinindia.nic.in/States/haryana/haryana-w.htm |publisher=Legislative Bodies in India website |access-date=3 May 2014 |archive-date=27 February 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140227051116/http://legislativebodiesinindia.nic.in/States/haryana/haryana-w.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> The highest number of seats ever won was in 1977 when [[Janata Party]] won 75 out of 90 seats in the aftermath of the [[The Emergency (India)|1975–77 emergency]] by [[Indian National Congress]]'s (INC) [[Indira Gandhi]]. INC won only 3 seats, [[Vishal Haryana Party]] and independents both won 5 seats each.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.haribhoomi.com/haryana/haryana-election-2019-if-bjp-won-75-seats-then-history-will-repeat-itself-after-42-years-299029|title=Haryana Election 2019: भाजपा को मिली 75 सीटें तो 42 साल बाद इतिहास खुद को दोहराएगा- हरिभूमि, Haribhoomi|first=Somdat|last=Sharma|date=22 August 2019|website=www.haribhoomi.com|access-date=12 February 2020|archive-date=28 September 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230928215826/https://www.haribhoomi.com/haryana/haryana-election-2019-if-bjp-won-75-seats-then-history-will-repeat-itself-after-42-years-299029|url-status=dead}}</ref>
