[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown
  1. The top two polled 90.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 8.5% between them.

    (1,18,111 + 55,473) ÷ 1,91,211 = 90.8% · 16,334 ÷ 1,91,211 = 8.5%
  2. Turnout of 78.2% was 1.2 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    78.2 − 79.4 = −1.2
  3. The margin widened from 10.4 pp in 2021 to 32.8 pp.

    32.8 − 10.4 = +22.4 pp
