WELCOME TO ELECTION HABBA 2023

The Karnataka State Legislative Assembly slated to take place in the summer of 2023, will elect 224 members of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly or MLAs. The outcome will determine the next incumbent to take up the mantle of the Chief Minister of the state.

While the last Karnataka Assembly Election in 2018 had the greatest voter turnout since the 1952 assembly elections (72.13%), Bengaluru lagged behind with a voter turnout of only 54.72%.

The Karnataka MLA elections are crucial as they will determine the state's future trajectory and the well-being of its citizens. The elected representatives shoulder the responsibility of safeguarding the welfare and interests of their constituents through implementation of laws & policies. Beyond their legislative duties, MLAs play an integral role in influencing the formation and functioning of the government, including the appointment of the Chief Minister and other ministers.

There is an underlying need to increase Bengaluru’s voter turnout for the upcoming state elections in 2023. In order to encourage more citizens to vote in upcoming Karnataka Legislative Assembly elections and create election awareness, B.PAC has launched Election Habba 2023, an electoral election awareness campaign that celebrates the festival of democracy.
