<br />
'''Mahe''' is a [[Puducherry Legislative Assembly|legislative assembly]] constituency in the [[Union territory]] of [[Puducherry (union territory)|Puducherry]] in [[India]], covering the area of [[Mahe, India|Mahe]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Schedule XXII Puducherry Table A - Assembly Constituencies|publisher=[[Election Commission of India]]|url=http://eci.nic.in/eci_main/nri/puducherry_Delimitation.pdf|accessdate=2011-05-13}}</ref> Mahe Assembly constituency is part of [[Puducherry Lok Sabha constituency]].<br />
<br />
From 1964 to 2011, the Mahe region had two Assembly Constituencies - Mahe and Palloor. Mahe Assembly constituency included areas of Mahe, Cherukallayi and Chalakkara, whereas Palloor constituency comprised Palloor and Pandakkal areas.<br />
<br />
Palloor Assembly constituency was abolished for the [[2011 Puducherry Legislative Assembly election|2011 Assembly election]]. Thus, the whole of Mahe came under the enlarged Mahe Constituency since 2011.<br />
