Elections to the Third [[Orissa Legislative Assembly]] were held 1961.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Orissa 1961|url=https://old.eci.gov.in/files/file/3619-orissa-1961/|access-date=2021-05-08|website=Election Commission of India|language=en-IN}}</ref>

==Constituencies==
The elections were held for 140 constituencies, of which 25 were reserved for Scheduled Castes, 29 for Scheduled Tribes and 86 unreserved.

==Contesting parties==
There are three national parties (the [[Communist Party of India]], [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] and the [[Praja Socialist Party]]), one state party ([[Ganatantra Parishad]]), one registered unrecognised party ([[Jharkhand Party]]) and some [[Independent Politician]]s. All took part in this assembly election. The Congress party won a clear majority for the first time in Orissa by winning 58% of the seats with a vote share of 43.28%. The 1961 election was the first decisive election which resulted non-coalition govt. in the state.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Orissa 1961|url=https://old.eci.gov.in/files/file/3619-orissa-1961/|access-date=2021-05-08|website=Election Commission of India|language=en-IN}}</ref> The post of [[Chief Minister]] saw successive replacements during this period. [[Biju Patnaik|Bijayananda Pattanaik]] became the [[Chief Minister]] of [[Orissa]] and remained in power till 1963, when he was called by the national high command for reforming the party. He was replaced by the Bengali [[Biren Mitra]], and finally by [[Sadashiva Tripathy|Sadasiba Tripathy]] in 1965 when corruption charges were brought against Mitra.
