The 2016 New Colorado prefectural election was held on Saturday 7 May 2016 to elect the 35 members of the New Colorado Prefectural Assembly. The gubernatorial election was held on the same date.
The incumbent seventh-term Social Democratic government, in power since 1988 and led by Premier Natalie Takayama, was re-elected in a landslide, defeating the opposition Liberal Party, led by Dodger Teoh. In one of the largest election victories in modern Enderronian history, the Social Democrats gained seven seats (six off the Liberals and one off an independent MP) to finish with more than three-quarters of the legislature's seats and 57.1 percent of the two-party-preferred vote. The percentage of seats controlled by the Social Democrats (77.1%) is the fourth-largest in Enderronian history, only exceeded by the Liberals in the 2011 Flinders election (84.6%), the Social Democrats in the 1989 Westhaven election (83.0%), and the Social Democrats in the 1970 Miranda election (79.3%).
