Himachal Pradesh, a hill state with 68 assembly seats, voted in December 2022 — later than the other states on this list — so its next election is expected towards the end of 2027 rather than in the spring.
| Total assembly seats | 68 |
| Estimated electorate | 57 lakh (approx.) |
| Expected polling | Single phase (expected) |
| Current term ends | Late 2027 (December, expected) |
| Sitting Chief Minister | Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu |

Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu's Congress government ended a decade of alternating BJP-Congress rule when it won in 2022. The BJP, which held power under Jai Ram Thakur before that, remains the principal opposition. Fiscal stress, the state's Old Pension Scheme rollout, and disaster-recovery efforts after repeated monsoon flooding are expected to be major campaign issues.
