Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BPP polled 1,10,013 votes, 5.1× the 21,473-vote margin.

    1,10,013 ÷ 21,473 = 5.1

  2. NOTA polled 41,041 votes, 1.9× the winning margin of 21,473.

    41,041 ÷ 21,473 = 1.9

  3. The top two polled 74.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 22.1% between them.

    (4,04,091 + 3,82,618) ÷ 10,62,270 = 74.1% · 2,34,520 ÷ 10,62,270 = 22.1%

  4. Turnout of 61.5% matched the state's median seat.

    61.5 − 61.5 = 0.0

  5. The margin narrowed from 34.4 pp in 2019 to 2.0 pp.

    2.0 − 34.4 = −32.4 pp
