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.
