The Times of India reported in late February 2018 that the state had fewer electronic voting machines than the minimum mandated requirement to be stored going into elections for any state assembly. The report stated that only 20 percent or 11,399 EVMs were in place against the requirement of 56,994 machines, one each for a polling station. Bharat Electronics Limited, which provides 80 percent of the machines began supplying during this time.{{cite news|title=Karnataka has just 20% of EVMs needed for elections|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/karnataka-has-just-20-of-evms-needed-for-elections/articleshow/63084131.cms|access-date=27 March 2018|work=The Times of India|date=27 February 2018}} The District Election Officer for the Bangalore region stated that a "vulnerability mapping exercise" would be conducted to ensure "free and fair polls". He added that 550 Sector teams, each headed by a sector magistrate, a police officer (not below the rank of an Assistant sub-inspector) and a videographer, were formed, one for every 15 of the 8,274 polling stations in the said region.{{cite news|title=Vulnerability mapping exercise to ensure free and fair polls|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/vulnerability-mapping-exercise-to-ensure-free-and-fair-polls/article23295477.ece|access-date=27 March 2018|work=The Hindu|date=19 March 2018}}

== Leaked election dates ==

The Election Commission of India ran into a major embarrassment on 27 March 2018, when BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya and the Karnataka Congress' social media in-charge, Srivasta, tweeted the dates before they were officially released.{{Cite news|url=http://zeenews.india.com/india/not-just-bjp-this-congress-man-too-tweeted-about-karnataka-assembly-election-dates-2094064.html|title=Not just BJP, this Congress man too tweeted about Karnataka Assembly election dates|date=27 March 2018|work=Zee News|access-date=14 April 2018|language=en}}{{Cite news|url=https://scroll.in/latest/873464/ec-promises-action-after-bjps-amit-malviya-tweets-karnataka-poll-dates-before-they-were-announced|title=BJP's Amit Malviya writes to EC, defends tweeting Karnataka poll dates before their announcement|author=Scroll Staff|work=Scroll.in|access-date=14 April 2018|language=en-US}} However, both of them got the counting day incorrect in their tweets. Both the tweets were deleted after outrage on Twitter. Malviya later claimed that he got the information from Times Now, a 24-hour English news channel.{{Cite news|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2018/mar/27/picked-karnataka-poll-date-from-times-now-tv-bjps-it-cell-head-amit-malviya-tells-ec-1793283.html|title=Picked Karnataka poll date from Times Now TV: BJP's IT cell head Amit Malviya tells EC|work=The New Indian Express|access-date=14 April 2018}} The news was reportedly also shown by a local Kannada news channel.

Om Prakash Rawat, the Chief Election Commissioner of India, formed a committee to investigate the alleged leak.{{Cite news|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/election-commission-sets-up-panel-to-probe-leak-of-karnataka-poll-date/story-hNOCsZBpWfpOySDvDvnY9M.html|title=Election Commission sets up panel to probe leak of Karnataka poll date|date=27 March 2018|work=Hindustan Times|access-date=14 April 2018|language=en}} The terms of reference of the formed committee included probing certain media outlets and Congress' social media head Srivasta, but not BJP's Amit Malviya.{{Cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/elections/karnataka-assembly-elections-2018-ec-probe-panel-excludes-amit-malviyas-name-to-question-congress-worker-tv-channel-5114513/|title=Karnataka poll date leak: EC probe panel to probe media, not Amit Malviya|date=29 March 2018|work=The Indian Express|access-date=14 April 2018|language=en-US}} This prompted allegations of the Election Commission of India being biased for the BJP by the Congress.

On 14 April 2018, the committee said that the media reports were mere speculation and not a leak.{{Cite news|url=https://www.ndtv.com/karnataka-news/karnataka-poll-date-was-speculation-not-leak-election-commission-committee-1837448|title=Karnataka Poll Date Was Speculation, Not Leak: Election Commission Committee|work=NDTV.com|access-date=14 April 2018}}

== Voter ID fraud case ==

On 11 May 2018, Congress MLA Munirathna and 13 others were booked in an alleged fake voter ID scam. On 8 May, almost 10,000 voter ID cards, along with several laptops, were found in a flat in Bengaluru owned by former BJP leader Manjula Nanjamari.{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/elections/karnataka-2018/over-9000-voter-id-cards-unearthed/article23817906.ece|title=Karnataka election 2018: Over 9,000 voter ID cards unearthed in Jalahalli|last=Staff Reporter|newspaper=The Hindu |date=9 May 2018|access-date=6 June 2018|via=www.thehindu.com}}{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/elections/karnataka-assembly-elections-2018-10000-voter-cards-1-house-bjp-congress-trade-blame-5170715/|title=Karnataka Elections 2018: 10,000 voter cards, 1 house; BJP, Congress trade blame|date=10 May 2018|access-date=6 June 2018}} Apart from these, Munirathna's pamphlets were also found, which turned the suspicion on Munirathna. After the FIR, he said "I've distributed 40,000 pamphlets asking for votes for me in my constituency and you will find them in every home in my segment. I've been named as accused no. 14 because one such pamphlet was found in the flat that was raided.

= Preferred Chief Minister polling =

Some opinion pollsters asked voters the party leader they would prefer as Chief Minister – Siddaramaiah (Indian National Congress), B. S. Yeddyurappa (Bharatiya Janata Party). or H. D. Kumaraswamy (Janata Dal (Secular)). Lokniti-CSDS conducted surveys between 11 and 15 January interviewing 878 people. While 34 percent of the sample wanted Siddaramaiah to remain the chief minister for the next term, 19 percent chose Kumaraswamy and 14 percent chose Yeddyurappa.{{cite news|title=Siddaramaiah best CM, Congress ahead of rivals: Karnataka survey|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/politics/260118/siddaramaiah-best-cm-congress-ahead-of-rivals-karnataka-survey.html|access-date=4 March 2018|work=Deccan Chronicle|date=26 January 2018}} A poll conducted by CHS in the same month found that Kumaraswamy was the first choice, followed by Yeddyurappa and Siddaramaiah in that order.{{cite news|title=Congress survey: Not Siddaramaiah, H D Kumaraswamy is CM front-runner!|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/politics/140118/congress-survey-not-siddaramaiah-h-d-kumaraswamy-is-cm-front-runner.html|access-date=4 March 2018|work=Deccan Chronicle|date=14 January 2018}} C-Fore's survey of a sample size of 22,357 voters across 154 assembly constituencies between 1 and 25 March showed that Siddaramaiah, with 45 percent, was the most popular choice for Chief Minister, followed by Yeddyurappa at 26 percent and Kumaraswamy at 13 percent, while 16 percent preferred 'others'.{{cite news|title=Karnataka Assembly Elections: Congress Will Better its 2013 Tally, Predicts Survey|url=https://www.news18.com/news/politics/karnataka-assembly-elections-congress-will-better-its-2013-tally-predicts-survey-1699977.html|access-date=27 March 2018|work=News18 India|publisher=news18.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180326110058/https://www.news18.com/news/politics/karnataka-assembly-elections-congress-will-better-its-2013-tally-predicts-survey-1699977.html|archive-date=26 March 2018}}

Exit polls

The exit polls remained divided, with only one predicting that a party – BJP – would get past the majority mark. Five polls predicted that BJP would have the most seats, while two predicted that the Congress was in a comfortable lead, and one predicted a cliffhanger. Today's Chanakya exit poll, which was released last and took into account voting right until polling closure time, predicted a clear majority for BJP.

The Governor then gave a 15-day window for the new government to prove the majority in the legislature, which was shunned by the opposition as favoring the BJP. The Supreme court then limited the window to 3 days and then Chief minister Yeddyurappa resigned 10 minutes before the trust vote. The INC-JD(S) coalition then formed the cabinet with HD Kumarasamy as Chief minister. This coalition government lasted for 14 months before turmoil started again. 16 Legislators from the ruling coalition resigned within a span of 2 days and 2 independent MLAs switched their support to BJP. This shrunk the house majority to 105 and ruling coalition to 101, and the opposition BJP to 107. After 3 weeks of turmoil, HD Kumarasamy lost the trust vote by 100–107 in the house (held on 23 July 2019) and resigned. Afterward on 26 July 2019, B.S. Yeddiyurapa took oath as the Chief Minister of Karnataka once again.{{Cite web|url=https://caravanmagazine.in/politics/partisan-role-speaker-compromises-democracy|title=How the increasingly partisan role of the speaker compromises democracy|last=Kumar|first=Alok Prasanna|date=1 July 2018|website=The Caravan|language=en|url-access=subscription|access-date=7 December 2019}}
