Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.6% of votes; the other 11 candidates 6.8% between them.

    (1,14,657 + 93,180) ÷ 2,24,379 = 92.6% · 15,220 ÷ 2,24,379 = 6.8%

  2. Turnout of 96.6% was 3.2 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    96.6 − 93.4 = +3.2

  3. The margin widened from 7.4 pp in 2021 to 9.6 pp.

    9.6 − 7.4 = +2.2 pp
