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