A map showing the erstwhile Mahe and Palloor Assembly Constituencies

Mahe is a legislative assembly constituency in the Union territory of Puducherry in India, covering the area of Mahe. Mahe Assembly constituency is part of Puducherry Lok Sabha constituency.

From 1964 to 2011, the Mahe region had two Assembly Constituencies - Mahe and Palloor. Mahe Assembly constituency included areas of Mahe, Cherukallayi and Chalakkara, whereas Palloor constituency comprised Palloor and Pandakkal areas.
