The 2017 Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly election was the 4th Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) election of the state of Uttarakhand in India. Elections were held on 15 February 2017 in a single phase for the 69 seats of the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly. Voting in the Karnaprayag constituency was postponed until 9 March 2017 due to the death of BSP candidate Kuldeep Kanwasi in a road accident. The Bharatiya Janata Party emerged as the largest party, winning 57 seats in the 70-seat legislature. This marked the first time that a party got a supermajority in Uttarakhand. The Indian National Congress was reduced to 11 seats and became the official opposition. The voter turnout for the 69 seats of Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly that was held on 15 February was 65.64% which is less than the last election's voter turnout of 66.85%.
