Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.6% of votes; the other 7 candidates 2.9% between them.

    (7,63,195 + 7,15,431) ÷ 15,30,997 = 96.6% · 44,237 ÷ 15,30,997 = 2.9%

  2. Turnout of 85.3% was 4.1 pp above the state's median seat (81.2%).

    85.3 − 81.2 = +4.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 7.8 pp in 2019 to 3.1 pp.

    3.1 − 7.8 = −4.7 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: AITC in 2019, BJP in 2024.
