The 2017 Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly election^[1] was the 4th Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) election of the state of Uttarakhand in India. Elections were held on 15 February 2017 in a single phase for the 69 seats of the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly. Voting in the Karnaprayag constituency was postponed until 9 March 2017 due to the death of BSP candidate Kuldeep Kanwasi in a road accident. In the previous election in 2012, none of the parties won a majority but the Indian National Congress formed the government with the help of PDF with the leadership of Vijay Bahuguna.

The voter turnout for the 69 seats of Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly that was held on 15 February was 65.64%^[2] which is less than the last election's voter turnout of 66.85%.
