In less than 24 hours, the results of the recently-held Karnataka Assembly will be out. With most pollsters predicting a hung assembly, it is interesting to see the final numbers of each party in the tightly-fought polls.

The counting will begin at 8 am in 36 centres across the state. It is said that a clear picture about the outcome will be possibly out by mid-day.
