Karnataka Exit Poll Result 2023: Date, time & live streaming details; Here's when to watch

The voting for the single-phase Karnataka elections will take place on Wednesday, May 10. After the polling concludes, all eyes will be focused on the Exit Poll results that could hold a clue to people’s mood in the southern state. Republic P-MARQ Exit poll will bring you the correct projections before the results are declared on May 13. The state is witnessing a trilateral contest among the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress and Janata Dal (Secular). 

While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) seeks a comeback to break the 38-year jinx (the state has never voted the incumbent party to power since 1985), the Congress is striving to wrest power to position itself as the main opposition player in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

It would also be keenly observed whether former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda-led Janata Dal (Secular) will emerge as a "kingmaker" in the event of a hung verdict, as it has done in the past.
