Kerala Assembly Election 2026: Voting for the Kerala Assembly Polls 2026 will start early on Thursday morning, and the fate of over 420 candidates across 140 seats will be decided. The state is likely to see a bipolar contest between the ruling LDF and Congress-led UDF.

However, the BJP has emerged as a key force in the state, presenting it as a third option. As the voters are set to elect their representatives and accordingly the government for five years, here's the constituency-wise list of candidates.
