The '''Kerala Legislative Assembly election of 1965''' was held to elect members to the third [[Kerala Legislative Assembly|Niyamasabha]]. [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]], which was the splinter faction of [[Communist Party of India]], emerged as the largest party in the assembly with 40 seats, followed by [[Indian National Congress]] with 36. However no single party could form a ministry commanding majority and hence this election is considered abortive. On March 25, [[President's rule]] was invoked for the fourth time.<ref name="KeralaLegislature">{{cite web | url=http://kerala.gov.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3776:history-of-kerala-legislature | title=History of Kerala Legislature | publisher=Kerala Government | access-date=30 July 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006101549/http://kerala.gov.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3776%3Ahistory-of-kerala-legislature | archive-date=2014-10-06 | url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=STATISTICAL REPORT ON GENERAL ELECTION, 1965 TO THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF KERALA |url=http://www.ceo.kerala.gov.in/pdf/KLA/KL_1965_ST_REP.pdf |website=www.ceo.kerala.gov.in |publisher=ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA NEW DELHI |format=pdf}}</ref>
