A clear picture of the result is likely to emerge by noon.2018 statisticsIn the 2018 assembly elections, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party emerged as the single-largest party with 104 seats, followed by the Congress with 78 seats and the Janata Dal (Secular) with 37. This time in the 224 Assembly constituencies, a total of 2,615 candidates contested the polls.Exit PollsNotably, Congress is expected to have a clear edge in Karnataka as four exit polls giving it a full majority and some predicting a hung assembly with an advantage to the party.A few exit polls also said that BJP is ahead in the sweepstakes to form the government.The exit polls, which were released after the polling ended in Karnataka, predicted that Janata Dal-Secular JD(S) would not touch the 37 seats it won in the 2018 polls but will continue to be a strong regional player in the state. If Karnataka throws up a hung assembly, the JD-S could emerge in the role of kingmaker.According to India Today-Axis My India exit poll, Congress is poised to win a comfortable majority with 122-140 seats, BJP will get 62-80 seats, JD(S) 20-25 and others 0-3 seats.A party needs 113 seats for a majority in the 224-member Karnataka assembly.The poll of polls shows an advantage for the Congress with the party poised to win 109 seats, BJP 91 seats and JD-S 23.News24-Today's Chanakya predicted Congress crossing the halfway mark.
