History
editFor the first election conducted to the Kerala Legislative Assembly in 1957, the Kannur city had two Assembly Constituencies - Cannanore-I and Cannanore - II. Following the 1965 delimitation, Cannanore - I Constituency was renamed as Kannur while Cannanore - II was replaced by the newly formed Edakkad constituency.
In the 2008 delimitation of constituencies, a major portion of the erstwhile Kannur Assembly Constituency was replaced in Azhikode constituency. Edakkad constituency became defunct in 2011. A major portion of the erstwhile Edakkad constituency is now a part of the Kannur constituency. Currently, the Kannur Municipal Corporation has two assembly constituencies: Kannur and Azhikode.
