==State reorganization==
On 1 November 1956, Mysore state was enlarged by the addition of [[Coorg State]], the [[Kollegal]] taluk of the Coimbatore district and the [[South Kanara]] district (except the [[Kasaragod]] taluk) of [[Madras State]], the districts of Raichur and Gulbarga from western [[Hyderabad State]] and the [[Kannada]] speaking districts of Dharwar, Bijapur, North Kanara, and Belgaum, (except the Chandgad taluk of Belgaum district) from southern [[Bombay State]] under [[States Reorganisation Act, 1956]]. The Siruguppa taluk, the Bellary taluk, the Hospet taluk, and a small area of the Mallapuram sub-taluk were detached from the Mysore State.<ref name="1955ReorgStates">{{cite web | url=http://www.epw.in/system/files/pdf/1955_7/42/reorganisation_of_statesthe_approach_and_arrangements.pdf | title=Reorganisation of States, 1955 | publisher=The Economic Weekly | date=15 October 1955 | accessdate=25 July 2015}}</ref> This resulted in an increase in assembly constituencies from 80 with 99 seats to 179 with 208 seats in 1957 assembly elections.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-08-20 |title=Karnataka 1957 |url=https://old.eci.gov.in/files/file/3772-karnataka-1957/ |access-date=2024-02-03 |website=Election Commission of India |language=en-IN}}</ref>
