About 68.64 per cent of the 1.27 crore electorate in Haryana cast their votes on Thursday to select representatives to the 90-member assembly.
The election was by and large peaceful, though one person was killed in poll-related violence and a few incidents of clashes were reported.
Kulbir, driver of Congress's Barwala candidate Randhir, was shot dead by some unidentified gunmen in Mirchpur village in Barwala. However, Randhir escaped the attack.
"The polling was very peaceful in the state and the voter turnout was very large," Haryana's Chief Electoral Officer Urvashi Gulati told reporters in Chandigarh.
She, however, said the figure of 68.64 per cent was tentative. It could be 70 per cent, she said.

Polling in two booths one in Chhachhrouli in Yamuna Nagar and another in Bambola in Jagadhari - was held up for about 30 minutes due to technical fault in the electronic voting machines, a report from Yamuna Nagar said.
Voting was also suspended at polling booths with number 50 and 51 in Sant Nagar area of Mewla Maharajpur constituency after the names of 579 voters were found deleted. Some voters whose names were missing from the voters' list protested outside the polling booths resulting in the suspension of polling. The police later restored order and the polling recommenced.
