The '''Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, 2017''' was held on 9 November 2017 to elect all 68 members of the [[Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly]].

The term of the previous Legislative Assembly ended on 7 January 2017. Since 2012, the [[Congress|Indian National Congress]] Party was in power in the outgoing assembly with 36 seats. The lone opposition party was [[BJP|Bharatiya Janata Party.]]

The term of the previous Legislative Assembly ended on 7 January 2017. Since 2012, the [[Congress|Indian National Congress]] Party was in power in the outgoing assembly with 36 seats. The lone opposition party was [[BJP|Bharatiya Janata Party.]]

The [[Constitution of India]] states that the term of Legislative Assemblies is five years, at maximum. The term of current Legislative Assembly ends on 7 January 2018.<ref name="eci">{{cite web|url=http://eci.nic.in/eci_main1/terms_of_houses.aspx|title=Terms of the Houses|website=eci.nic.in|publisher=[[Election Commission of India]]/[[National Informatics Centre]]|access-date=23 May 2016}}</ref> The previous election, held in [[2012 Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly election|2012]] resulted in [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] gaining majority of seats and [[Virbhadra Singh]] becoming [[List of Chief Ministers of Himachal Pradesh|Chief Minister]].

[[Himachal Pradesh]], as a state of [[India]] follows [[Parliamentary system]] of government similar to other states. The Government is responsible to the Assembly and stays in power only if it has the support of majority members. Elections take place on a [[first past the post]] basis, the candidate with the most votes wins the seat regardless of an absolute majority. Every citizen of the state, who is 18 and above is eligible to vote. The Governor then invites the leader of the largest party or coalition to form the government. As is common in most other first past the post electoral systems, the state's politics are dominated by two parties – the [[Indian National Congress]] and [[Bharatiya Janata Party]].

State elections in India are often fought on central issues, and the results are regarded as a referendum on the [[Government of India|central government]]'s policies. This is especially true in the case of states where the two national parties – Congress and BJP are in direct contest with each other. The state units of the parties are not completely independent and the central authority of the parties has a considerable influence over candidate selection and campaigning. However, state issues do tend to dominate the discourse. The Congress party has projected its current [[Chief Minister]] [[Virbhadra Singh]] as its Chief Ministerial candidate for the elections. BJP announced Prem Kumar Dhumal as their Chief Ministerial candidate. Dhumal lost his seat from the Sujanpur constituency. Eventually, the BJP made [[Jai Ram Thakur]] the Chief Minister who won from the Seraj constituency. In the 17th Assembly segment, Tashigang village becomes the highest polling station at an altitude of 15256 feet. The polling station falls in Buddhist-dominated Lahul-Spiti that form the Mandi Lok Sabha seat, the second-largest constituency in India. Situated at about 29 Kilometres from the India-China border, the polling station covers two villages - Tashigang and Gets. As per the revised electoral roll, the two villages have 48 Voters of which 30 are men and 18 women.

==Preparations for elections==

[[Voter-verified paper audit trail|VVPAT]]-fitted [[electronic voting machines]] were used in all of the 7,521 [[Polling place|polling stations]], the first time that the entire state will see the implementation of VVPAT to ensure greater transparency to the voter.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/the-many-firsts-in-himachal-pradesh-elections-virbhadra-singh-dhumal-vvpat-disabled-people-and-women-to-man-141-booths-4916088/|title=The many firsts in Himachal Pradesh elections: VVPAT, disabled people and women to man 141 booths|date=31 October 2017}}</ref> Over 5 million voters are registered in the state.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/shimla/one-day-poll-in-hp-result-on-december-18/articleshow/61063375.cms|title=One day poll in HP, result on December 18 | Shimla News - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref> VVPAT slips were counted in 2 polling stations each across all 68 Himachal Pradesh constituencies.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/in-a-first-ec-to-hold-mandatory-vvpat-count-at-one-polling-station-of-each-constituency/articleshow/62115773.cms|title=In a first, EC to hold mandatory VVPAT count at one polling station of each constituency | India News - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref>

==Tibetan voters==

Indian electoral rules allow any citizen of India above 18 years of age to vote in any [[states and union territories of India]], provided he/she is a resident of that state. India has a large [[Tibetan diaspora]] that fled from [[Tibet]] along with the [[Dalai Lama]]. [[Dharamshala]], a city in [[Himachal Pradesh]], is the capital of the [[Central Tibetan Administration]]. The Government has allowed Tibetans born in India between 1950 and 1987 to vote in the elections. This however, does not affect their relationship with the CTA.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/shimla/tibetans-living-in-exile-to-vote-first-time-in-himachal-assembly-elections/articleshow/60896154.cms|title=Tibetans living in exile to vote first time in Himachal assembly elections|work=The Times of India|access-date=14 October 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.onmanorama.com/in-depth/elections-2017.html|title=RK Nagar By-Election Results | Tamil Nadu Assembly By-poll 2017|website=OnManorama}}</ref>
