Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 6.0% between them.

    (5,09,334 + 4,47,546) ÷ 10,36,194 = 92.3% · 61,707 ÷ 10,36,194 = 6.0%

  2. Turnout of 59.6% matched the state's median seat.

    59.6 − 59.6 = 0.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 15.0 pp in 2014 to 6.0 pp.

    6.0 − 15.0 = −9.0 pp

  4. RJD held the seat it won in 2014.
