Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 43,156 votes, 1.3× the 33,063-vote margin.

    43,156 ÷ 33,063 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 73.1% of votes; the other 9 candidates 26.7% between them.

    (85,179 + 52,116) ÷ 1,87,905 = 73.1% · 50,145 ÷ 1,87,905 = 26.7%

  3. Turnout of 82.8% was 3.8 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    82.8 − 86.6 = −3.8

  4. The margin widened from 6.0 pp in 2021 to 17.6 pp.

    17.6 − 6.0 = +11.6 pp

  5. VCK held the seat it won in 2021.
