A complete guide to the next Gujarat Vidhan Sabha election — when it will be held, all 182 seats, the projected electorate, districts, booths and the parties in the fray — and why Smart Neta's election software is built to win Gujarat booth by booth.
The numbers that define Gujarat's next state election. 2027 figures are projected from the 2022 poll; the Election Commission of India will publish the final schedule and rolls before the vote.
The current Gujarat Assembly was constituted in December 2022, so its five-year term runs to late 2027. As in 2022, the election is expected to be held across two phases around December 2027, with exact dates announced by the ECI closer to the poll.
All 182 Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) seats are contested. 13 are reserved for Scheduled Castes and 27 for Scheduled Tribes — among the largest tribal reservations of any state. The majority mark is 92.
Gujarat had about 4.91 crore electors in 2022. With routine roll revisions and new young voters, the 2027 electorate is projected to cross 5 crore across general, women and service voters.
Voting spans all 33 districts — from urban Ahmedabad, Surat and Vadodara to Saurashtra, Kutch and the tribal eastern belt — each a distinct caste, industrial and agrarian arena.
The 2022 election ran in two phases across 51,782 polling stations. A two-phase 2027 poll on a similar or larger booth base makes booth-level coordination the decisive factor.
Beneath the Assembly map sit tens of thousands of municipal and panchayat wards. Parties that organise at ward and booth level — not just constituency level — carry the ground game into the Vidhan Sabha vote.
