1954 Travancore-Cochin Legislative Assembly election

The 1954 Travancore-Cochin Legislative Assembly election was held on 30 March 1954 to elect members to the 132-seat legislative assembly of the Indian state of Travancore-Cochin, following its reorganization and the merger of Travancore and Cochin states. This election marked a significant event in the political landscape of the region, as it was conducted under the provisions of the new Constitution of India, which had come into effect in 1950. The election resulted in a decisive victory for the Indian National Congress, which emerged as the dominant party, securing a majority of the seats. This election was pivotal in shaping the future governance of Travancore-Cochin and laid the groundwork for subsequent electoral processes in the state, contributing to the political integration of the region with the larger Indian republic.
