Karnataka Issues Election Rules for Greater Bengaluru
The Karnataka government has created new rules for elections in five new municipal areas around Bengaluru.
These rules detail how the elections will be run, including who's in charge and how voters are registered.
The State Election Commission will oversee the process to make sure everything is fair, including making sure the borders of the areas and the voters lists match up.
Government officials will help with the elections.
The government has promised the Supreme Court that the elections will happen in December, with the final details on the areas to be decided by the end of August.

The rules are framed under the Greater Bengaluru Administration Act and allow 15 days for objections.
