The 14th Johor 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 Johor State Legislative Assembly would automatically dissolve on 20 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 20 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 Johor) on the advice of the Head of Government (Menteri Besar of Johor).
The results of the election saw a historic win for Pakatan Harapan (PH), winning 36 seats (a majority but 1 seat short of supermajority) and ousting Barisan Nasional from the state government, the first time since the first Johor state elections in 1955 that BN or its predecessor Alliance were defeated. BERSATU's Osman Sapian was sworn in as Menteri Besar on 12 May 2018, while the state EXCO members were sworn in on 16 May 2018.

Aftermath The results in Johor were seen as shocking to many, since the state was the birthplace of UMNO, and were viewed as 'fortress' with no defeats by BN or Alliance since 1955, the start of Johor state elections.
