What this countdown tracks
The clock above counts down to the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly election, expected in February 2027 with the indicative polling date of February 14, 2027. The vote elects 70 members of the Vidhan Sabha for a five-year term and tests the BJP's bid for a third consecutive term under Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami.
About this election
Uttarakhand's Vidhan Sabha is elected via first-past-the-post in 70 single-member constituencies, of which 13 are reserved for Scheduled Castes and 2 for Scheduled Tribes. The state has alternated tightly between the BJP and Congress since its formation in 2000, with no party winning two consecutive terms until the BJP broke that pattern in 2022. The current Assembly's term ends on March 23, 2027, so the ECI typically schedules polling six to eight weeks earlier.
Backdrop: Dhami's first-term legislative push delivered the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) — India's first state UCC, notified in early 2025 — and a sustained "anti-conversion" law agenda. Disasters in Joshimath, Silkyara tunnel, and recurrent Gangotri-Yamunotri cloudbursts have shaped governance debates. The 2024 Lok Sabha results saw the BJP sweep all five seats, suggesting strong Modi-era momentum, while the Congress regrouped around Pritam Singh and Karan Mahara.
Key issues
The campaign will focus on the operational rollout of the UCC, Char Dham Yatra and pilgrim infrastructure, post-disaster mountain ecology and the Char Dham road project, employment and the army-veteran demographic in Garhwal-Kumaon, and the long-running migration-from-villages crisis. Land laws (the 2018 amendments and possible new restrictions on outsider purchases) will be a defining campaign axis.
Past results
- 2022: BJP retained power with 47 of 70 seats; Pushkar Singh Dhami became the first CM to win a successive term.
- 2017: BJP swept 57 seats under Trivendra Singh Rawat in a wave election.
- 2012: Congress won 32 seats; Vijay Bahuguna and later Harish Rawat served as CM.
- 2007: BJP returned with 35 seats under B.C. Khanduri.
- 2002: Congress won the first Vidhan Sabha after statehood.
