Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AISF polled 1,21,440 votes, 1.1× the 1,14,189-vote margin.

    1,21,440 ÷ 1,14,189 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 82.9% of votes; the other 10 candidates 16.0% between them.

    (6,92,010 + 5,77,821) ÷ 15,32,601 = 82.9% · 2,44,878 ÷ 15,32,601 = 16.0%

  3. Turnout of 80.4% was 0.8 pp below the state's median seat (81.2%).

    80.4 − 81.2 = −0.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.9 pp in 2019 to 7.5 pp.

    7.5 − 7.9 = −0.4 pp

  5. AITC held the seat it won in 2019.
