It’s Voting Day in Karnataka!

Elections in Karnataka 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.

For the voters who have been lethargic to listen to the same old lectures/speeches, Play Act was helpful to create a maximum awareness and will definitely help to enhance the percentage of awareness in the ensuing election. Click here to view the photo gallery.
