Karnataka Bye Election

A by-election (also spelled as "bye-election"), also known as a special election, is an election held to fill a political office that has become vacant between general elections. Usually, a by-election occurs when the incumbent has died or resigned. It may also occur when the incumbent becomes ineligible to continue in office, for example because of a recall, ennoblement, a serious criminal conviction, failure to maintain a minimum attendance, bankruptcy or mental incapacity.

List of Chief Ministers of Karnataka
The Chief Minister of Karnataka is the chief executive of the south Indian state of Karnataka. As per the Constitution of India, the governor is a state's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, the state's governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is subject to no term limits.

Karnataka by-elections Live updates

Karnataka by-election LIVE UPDATES:

Karnataka Assembly by-election 2019 live news update: By-elections are held on Thursday for 15 constituencies across Karnataka, which will decide the fate of the four-month-old BJP government led by Chief Minister BS S Yeddyurappa. Over 38 lakh voters will exercise their franchise in important by-elections, 

EVM VVPAT

which will be between 7 am and 6 am. The results will be announced on Monday 9 December.

The seats fell vacant after 17 rebel Congress MLAs and JD(S) parties tried to topple the coalition government with the BJP. The MLAs were later disqualified from the House, but today they were allowed to contest elections. Elections for the two seats - Rajarajeshwari Nagar and Maski - are not being held today as separate election petitions challenging the results of the 2018 elections are pending in the Karnataka High Court.

In 13 of the 15 seats, BJP has fielded Congress-JD (S) turncoats. The ruling party needs to win at least six out of 15 or seven out of 17 seats to maintain its majority.

The Congress-JDS alliance has taken huge leads in four out of five seats that went to polls. The alliance is leading in Ballari and Mandya parliamentary seats. It is also leading in Jamkhandi and Ramanagara assembly seats. The BJP is leading in Shivamogga Lok Sabha constituency.

Out of the three parliamentary constituencies, the BJP held two, while the JDS one. The BJP holds Shivamogga, which is a stronghold of its state chief BS Yeddyurappa.

In Ballari, Congress' V S Ugrappa was leading by 84,257 over Bharatiya Janata Party's J Shantha.

BJP's B Y Raghavendra, the son of former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa, was leading ahead of JD(S)' Madhu Bangarappa by 9,665 votes in Shivamogga. In Mandya, JD(S)' Shivarame Gowda was leading over BJP's Siddaramaiah.

It is a matter of prestige for both the BJP and the ruling Congress-JDS alliance after the assembly election in the state. It was a loss of face for the BJP as the Congress and JDS entered a late alliance to deprive it of forming the government despite being the single largest party. The good performance in bypolls is a boost for the ruling Congress-JDS alliance in the state, which was facing questions of longevity.

The vote counts were being conducted in the engineering and government colleges that have been taken up as counting centres.

Around 66 per cent of the 5.45 million electorates have voted in the five bypolls.

In 2014, the BJP had won 17 of Karnataka's 23 parliamentary seats. The Congress won 9 and HD Kumaraswamy's Janata Dal-Secular 2 seats. The BJP won 104 of the 224 seats in the assembly election in May.

Election Commission of India clarifies its decision to hold the by-election in Karnataka

Election Commission of India clarifies its decision to hold the by-election in Karnataka

Political Services                                               Download latest voter list Booth wise

HYDERABAD: On Monday, the Election Commission of India told the Hyderabad High Court that it is urging the Center, the Law Commission and Parliament to impress at least four cut off dates in a year to influence the amendment of the electoral roll so that whenever the election is declared to be done, new voters, especially young and first-timers, who reach the age of 18 and are eligible to determine eligibility for becoming eligible to vote.

Avinash Desai, EC’s counsel, said to a bench of Chief Justice TB Radhakrishnan and Justice SV Bhatt that was hearing a petition filed by two young voters from Siddipet , Shashank Reddy and another, who would have become eligible to vote in the next assembly elections had they not been forced on people now and had the cut-off date for enrolment remained January 1, 2019. But, the early election process had advanced the voter enrolment cut-off date by a year and that rendered them ineligible in the current election.

“When Law Commission recommended two cut-off dates in a year, January 1 and July 1, we readily agreed for that too,” Avinash said. But even that did not become an Act so far, he added. “Hence, we are following the existing rules that gave us January 1 as cut-off date and it was in this process the cut-off date for current enrolment was decided as of January 1, 2018,” he said.

The Election Commission also filed its counter in another case filed by former minister and Congress leader Marie Sashidhar Reddy who accused of removing votes.
