Himachal Pradesh Election 2027: Expected Dates and Schedule
When the Himachal Pradesh Vidhan Sabha election is expected in 2027, why, and how the official schedule gets announced.
The Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly election is expected in November–December 2027. No official date has been announced yet. The Election Commission of India (ECI) announces the exact schedule only around 60 days before polling, so treat every date on this page as a working estimate until then.
Why this window?
India’s Constitution requires a state assembly election within the five years following the previous one, before the sitting assembly’s term expires. The current Himachal Pradesh assembly, led by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu (INC), was elected in 2022, which is what places the next election in November–December 2027.
How an Indian assembly election is scheduled
