Election Commissioner Navin Chawla on Friday said the dates for holding election to the Karnataka Assembly would be decided within ten days after a meeting of the Election Commission.

Talking to newspersons at the airport here, he said the meeting would be held soon after Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalaswami returns from his tour.

“The poll panel has clarified that it will take time to complete the technicalities related to redrawing of maps of the Assembly and the Parliamentary constituencies’’, Chawla said adding “the polls will be held after delimitation of the constituencies in Karnataka.’’
