Karnataka Assembly Polls 2023: Stage Set For Counting Of Votes Tomorrow 

Karnataka Assembly Polls 2023: The counting of votes polled for the May 10 Karnataka Assembly polls, will be taken up on Saturday. As per the trend in the past two decades, Karnataka witnessed a three-cornered contest and this time the three main parties  BJP,  Congress, and the JD(S) are awaiting the results to be declared. 

The electoral fortunes of top leaders-- Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai of the BJP, Congress biggies like Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar, and JD(S)' HD Kumaraswamy, among many others will be known. The counting will begin at 8 am in 36 centres across the state, and poll officials expect a clear picture of the outcome is likely to emerge by mid-day. Elaborate security arrangements have been made across the State, especially in and around the counting centres, to avoid any untoward incidents.

Karnataka registered a record turnout of 73.19 percent in the voting which was held on May 10 for the 224-member Assembly. While exit polls predict a tight contest between the Congress and BJP, the JD(S) appears to be expecting a hung verdict.
