The 14th Kelantan State election was held on 9 May 2018, concurrently with the 2018 Malaysian general election. The previous state election was held on 5 May 2013. The state assemblymen is elected to 5 years term each.

The Kelantan State Legislative Assembly would automatically dissolve on 13 June 2018, the fifth anniversary of the first sitting, and elections must be held within sixty days (two months) of the dissolution (on or before 13 August 2018, with the date to be decided by the Election Commission), unless dissolved prior to that date by the Head of State (Sultan of Kelantan) on the advice of the Head of Government (Menteri Besar of Kelantan).

Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) continued their domination of Kelantan government since 1990, winning 37 seats out of 45 and gaining a supermajority in the Kelantan Assembly. Barisan Nasional (BN) only won 8 seats and confirming their status as the opposition, while Pakatan Harapan is unrepresented in the assembly after all their candidates lose. Ahmad Yakob from PAS was sworn in as Menteri Besar for the second term, on 10 May 2018.[1]
