What this countdown tracks
The clock above counts down to the Goa Legislative Assembly election expected in February 2027, with an indicative polling date of February 14, 2027. The vote fills all 40 seats of the Goa Vidhan Sabha for a five-year term and tests Chief Minister Pramod Sawant's BJP government in India's smallest mainland state.
About this election
Goa elects 40 MLAs via first-past-the-post; one seat is reserved for Scheduled Tribes. The current Assembly's term ends on March 15, 2027. Goa's politics have been famously fluid: defections, coalition splits, and the migration of Congress legislators to the BJP defined the 2017–2022 period before the BJP returned with a clearer mandate in 2022.
The 2027 backdrop: BJP's continuity under Sawant, the post-merger absorption of MGP and others, Congress's persistent organizational weakness despite a respectable vote share, the AAP and TMC bridgeheads from 2022, and the Revolutionary Goans Party's emergence around regional identity. Mining (after the long Supreme-Court-imposed freeze on iron-ore extraction), tourism management, and coastal-protection regulation remain perennial fault lines.
Key issues
Mining-block auctions and revenue revival, tourism-versus-locals tensions including the post-pandemic boom and Russian-tourist controversies, the future of the Mhadei river dispute with Karnataka, environmental clearances around Mollem and the linear projects (railway double-tracking, transmission lines, NH-4A widening), and the Konkani-Marathi and gaunkari-comunidade cultural questions will dominate.
Past results
- 2022: BJP won 20 of 40 seats and formed government with independent and MGP support.
- 2017: Congress was the single-largest party with 17 seats, but BJP formed government via post-poll alliances.
- 2012: BJP won an outright majority with 21 seats under Manohar Parrikar.
- 2007: Congress-led alliance returned to power.
- 2002: BJP-led alliance held office briefly under Manohar Parrikar.
