Background
Kerala has a unicameral house of legislation, Niyamasabha, consisting of 140 members elected from individual constituencies and one nominated member from the Anglo-Indian community. Members are elected for a period of five years, unless the assembly is dissolved earlier. Fourteen and two constituencies respectively are reserved for members belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST). The tenure of the members of the 14th Legislative Assembly in the state ended on 1 June 2021.{{cite web|url=https://eci.gov.in/elections/term-of-houses/|title=Term of houses in Indian legislatures|access-date=23 September 2020|archive-date=28 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220328103956/https://eci.gov.in/elections/term-of-houses/|url-status=live}}
As with all assembly elections in India, Kerala uses first-past-the-post election system. Voters are given a provision to vote NOTA (None Of The Above). State Election Commission, Kerala conducts the assembly election and is overseen by Election Commission of India.{{Cite web |title=CEO Kerala :: About Us |url=http://www.ceo.kerala.gov.in/aboutus.html |access-date=2023-03-09 |website=www.ceo.kerala.gov.in |archive-date=9 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230309181717/http://www.ceo.kerala.gov.in/aboutus.html |url-status=live }}

In the previous election in 2016, the LDF bagged 91 seats in the assembly, defeating the incumbent UDF, led by the Indian National Congress (INC), which could only win 47 seats in the election. The remaining seat was won by an independent, P. C. George, who later formed the party Kerala Janapaksham (Secular).{{cite news|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/assembly-elections/live-assembly-poll-results-counting-of-votes-in-tamil-nadu-kerala-assam-west-bengal-puducherry/story-nmYc0zJVdyQ25jUFRZsGrN.html|title=As it happened: TMC, AIADMK retain power; BJP takes Assam, Left Kerala|date=19 May 2016|newspaper=Hindustan Times|access-date=11 August 2019|archive-date=29 June 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190629120216/https://www.hindustantimes.com/assembly-elections/live-assembly-poll-results-counting-of-votes-in-tamil-nadu-kerala-assam-west-bengal-puducherry/story-nmYc0zJVdyQ25jUFRZsGrN.html|url-status=live}}

In February 2021, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Mani C. Kappan, the sitting MLA of Pala constituency, switched to the UDF after the LDF denied his request to contest in Pala constituency in the election. This resulted in his expulsion from NCP, following which he formed a new political party named Nationalist Congress Kerala (NCK).{{Cite web |title=Mani C Kappan announces new party 'NCK' |url=https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/mani-c-kappan-announces-new-party-nck--1.5461082 |website=Mathrubhumi |access-date=2 May 2021 |archive-date=22 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210422070324/https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/mani-c-kappan-announces-new-party-nck--1.5461082 |url-status=live }}

The incumbent LDF retained power with 99 seats, 8 more than in the previous election. This marks the first time an alliance has won consecutive terms in the state since 1977. The UDF won 41 seats, 6 less than before, although their vote share increased. The NDA lost their lone seat in Nemom and suffered a significant loss in vote-share. P. C. George, Kerala Janapaksham (Secular) candidate in Poonjar and the only MLA not part of any alliance, lost his sitting seat to the LDF, coming second.
Besides Poonjar, Kunnathunad, Perumbavoor, Kochi, Vypin, Kothamangalam and Muvattupuzha the NDA dropped to fourth position in Vengara, where an independent candidate overtook the BJP to become third. The Revolutionary Marxist Party of India opened its account in the State Legislative assembly, winning from Vadakara, a left-socialist stronghold, with outside support of UDF. In Pala, Mani C. Kappen won as a UDF Independent candidate.
K. K. Shailaja, who as Health Minister had won plaudits for her handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, was re-elected in Mattanur with a record majority of 67,013 votes.{{Cite web|url=https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/9-ministers-including-kk-shailaja-kadakampally-join-pinarayi-s-victory-parade-kerala-1.5637266|title=9 ministers including KK Shailaja, Kadakampally join Pinarayi's 'victory parade'|date=3 May 2021|access-date=4 May 2021|archive-date=4 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210504053049/https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/9-ministers-including-kk-shailaja-kadakampally-join-pinarayi-s-victory-parade-kerala-1.5637266|url-status=live}} K.

On 20 March 2023, Kerala High Court nullified the election in Devikulam, where elected members are required to belong to Scheduled Castes (SC), after establishing that the elected MLA, A. Raja of CPI(M), did not belong to SC community and was hence deemed ineligible to be elected from the constituency.{{Cite web |title=Kerala HC calls off Devikulam Assembly election result, disqualifies CPM MLA A Raja |url=https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/kerala-hc-calls-off-devikulam-assembly-election-result-cpm-mla-disqualified-1.8407119 |access-date=2023-03-20 |website=English.Mathrubhumi |date=20 March 2023 |language=en |archive-date=20 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230320100306/https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/kerala-hc-calls-off-devikulam-assembly-election-result-cpm-mla-disqualified-1.8407119 |url-status=live }} The court has stayed the decision to allow Raja to file an appeal to the Supreme Court.{{Cite web |title=Cong leader approaches SC against HC's interim stay on order cancelling Devikulam election result |url=https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/cong-leader-approaches-sc-against-hc-s-interim-stay-on-order-cancelling-devikulam-election-result-1.8410710 |access-date=2023-03-25 |website=English.Mathrubhumi |date=21 March 2023 |language=en |archive-date=25 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230325172910/https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/cong-leader-approaches-sc-against-hc-s-interim-stay-on-order-cancelling-devikulam-election-result-1.8410710 |url-status=live }}
