Seat change
Against Karnataka's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1962), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained57 (13%)
- Changed hands167 (38%)
- New seat216 (49%)
57 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 167 changed hands. 216 did not exist at the previous election.
India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
