1994 Goa Legislative Assembly election

The 1994 Goa Legislative Assembly election was held on September 27, 1994, to elect members of the 30 constituencies of the Goa Legislative Assembly. This election was significant as it marked the first legislative assembly election after Goa achieved full statehood in January 1987. The Indian National Congress, led by Chief Minister Pratapsingh Rane, aimed to consolidate its position amidst a backdrop of political challenges and increasing regional parties' influence. The primary opposition, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), sought to expand its foothold in the state. The election witnessed a voter turnout of approximately 82%, reflecting a high level of public engagement. Ultimately, the Congress secured a majority, affirming its dominance in Goan politics during the early 1990s.
