Elections were held on 15 February 2017 in a single phase for the 69 seats of the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly . Voting in the Karnaprayag constituency was postponed until 9 March 2017 due to the death of BSP candidate Kuldeep Kanwasi in a road accident.

The voter turnout for the 69 seats of Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly that was held on 15 February was 65.64%[ 2] which is less than the last election's voter turnout of 66.85%.
