Seat change
Against Mysore's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1967), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained94 (44%)
- Changed hands95 (44%)
- New seat27 (13%)
94 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 95 changed hands. 27 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.
