2011 Kerala Legislative Assembly election

2011 Kerala Legislative Assembly election was held on 13 April 2011 to elect members representing 140 constituencies in Kerala. Election results were released on 13 May 2011. The election proved to be one of the closest ones in Kerala's history, with the United Democratic Front (UDF) defeating the Left Democratic Front (LDF) by a margin of 4 seats.

Oommen Chandy was sworn in as the Chief Minister for the second time on 18 May 2011.

There are three major political coalitions in Kerala. The United Democratic Front (UDF) is the coalition of centrist and centre-left parties led by the Indian National Congress. The Left Democratic Front (LDF) is the coalition of leftwing and far-left parties, led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M). The right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is also contested in the state and fielded candidates in 139 constituencies, with one seat to their NDA alliance partner Janata Dal (United).

Common election symbols are provided only to national parties and registered recognized state parties. Registered unrecognized parties are given free symbols as per availability, based on request.
