The [[2020 Kerala local elections]] were held in December 2020, resulting in a decisive victory for the [[Left Democratic Front (Kerala)|LDF]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Kerala local body polls in three phases in December|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2020/nov/06/kerala-local-body-polls-in-three-phases-in-december-2220220.html|access-date=2020-11-06|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>

== Ward delimitation 2025 ==
In preparation for the 2025 Kerala local body elections, the state undertook a ward delimitation exercise based on the [[2011 census of India|2011 Census]]. As a result, the total number of wards across local self-government institutions increased from 21,900 to 23,612, adding 1,712 new. The exercise was carried out by a Delimitation Commission, Kerala headed by State Election Commissioner A. Shajahan and covered all districts of the state.
