Historical States & Renamed Assemblies

These held assembly elections but no longer exist as units under that name

Madras was renamed Tamil Nadu in 1969 and Mysore became Karnataka in 1973, so their elections are filed under the name in use at the time. Goa, Daman and Diu was a single union territory until 1987, when Goa became a state and Daman and Diu stayed a territory without an assembly. These historical units are kept separate from their successor states in this database; their election records are not merged into Tamil Nadu, Karnataka or Goa.

“Largest party” is the party that won the most seats, which is not always the party that formed the government — post-poll coalitions decide that, and this dataset records votes, not ministries. Seat counts are seats declared, so a countermanded or postponed seat leaves a state one short of its full strength. Assembly elections can only be compared within the same state — a Kerala result and a Punjab result are two separate legislatures, not one contest.
