Karnataka will go to polls in two phases on April 26 and May 7 for the general elections. The State has 28 constituencies, five of which are reserved constituencies for Scheduled Castes and two for Scheduled Tribes. This year’s general elections are spread over seven phases from April 19 to June 1 to elect the 18th Lok Sabha.

The Tracking the Polls series goes beyond individual constituencies and candidates, to focus on the electorate and electoral awareness, civic issues that can impact the voters, opinion pieces and regional profiles to give our readers a larger picture of the election. The package also comprises exclusive text and video analysis as well as infographic stories by The Hindu’s reporting and data team.
