Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.6% of votes; the other 12 candidates 7.5% between them.

    (5,15,719 + 4,64,363) ÷ 10,93,992 = 89.6% · 81,777 ÷ 10,93,992 = 7.5%

  2. Turnout of 56.2% was 1.0 pp below the state's median seat (57.2%).

    56.2 − 57.2 = −1.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 24.1 pp in 2019 to 4.7 pp.

    4.7 − 24.1 = −19.4 pp
