Elections in [[Karnataka]], a state in [[India]] are conducted in accordance with the Constitution of India. The Assembly of Karnataka creates laws regarding the conduct of local body elections unilaterally while any changes by the state legislature to the conduct of state level elections need to be approved by the Parliament of India. In addition, the state legislature may be dismissed by the Parliament according to Article 356 of the Indian Constitution and President's rule may be imposed.

==Main Political Parties in Karnataka==
[[Bharatiya Janata Party|BJP]], [[Indian National Congress|INC]] and [[Janata Dal (Secular)|JD(S)]] are the dominant parties in the state. The [[Communist party of India|CPI]], [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)|CPI(M)]] and [[Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti|MES]] are the other active political entities in the state.

Splinter groups such as [[Karnataka Congress Party|KCP]], [[Karnataka Janata Party|KJP]], [[BSR Congress]], [[Lok Shakti]] and [[Janata Dal (United)|JD(U)]] have made their mark in a few elections.
