The 2018 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election was held on 12 May 2018 in 222 constituencies to the Karnataka Legislative Assembly. The election was postponed in Jayanagar and Rajarajeshwari Nagar, following the death of the MLA B. N. Vijaya Kumar and a voter fraud scandal respectively till 28 May.[2] The election saw a voter turnout of 72.13 per cent, the highest in Karnataka since several decades.[3] The counting of votes took place on 15 May 2018.[4]

The Indian National Congress (INC) was seeking re-election, having governed the state since elections in 2013.[5] while the Bharatiya Janata Party attempted to regain office, having previously governed the state in 2007 and from 2008 to 2013. The Janata Dal (Secular), and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) contested the election in an electoral alliance. The Aam Aadmi Party also made its debut in the state.[6]
