The Haryana unit of the ruling BJP has written to the Election Commission requesting a brief postponement of the Assembly polls slated for October 1, citing holidays before and after the election date that could lead to lower voter turnout.

A state BJP leader on Saturday said the letter has been sent by party's state unit chief to the Election Commission.

Haryana's Chief Electoral Officer Pankaj Agarwal confirmed that the commission has received a copy of the communication on Friday over e-mail.
