Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 82.9% of votes; the other 11 candidates 12.0% between them.

    (5,68,150 + 2,81,716) ÷ 10,24,876 = 82.9% · 1,23,350 ÷ 10,24,876 = 12.0%

  2. Turnout of 55.7% was 1.5 pp below the state's median seat (57.2%).

    55.7 − 57.2 = −1.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 31.8 pp in 2014 to 27.9 pp.

    27.9 − 31.8 = −3.9 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2014, JD(U) in 2019.
