This page shows the winning MLA's name and party for each election on record, not vote totals or margins for every candidate -- see the sourcing note below for what is and isn't included. Goa was redelimited nationwide in 2008 (based on the 2001 census); four constituencies used until 2007 (Dargalim, Loutolim, Poinguinim, and Pale) don't recur under those names in 2012 -- their territory was folded into renamed or redrawn seats. Before 1987, Goa's assembly was shared with the then-territory of Daman and Diu; those two seats have been excluded here since they were never part of Goa itself.
