Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 4.0% between them.

    (2,10,072 + 87,431) ÷ 3,19,298 = 93.2% · 12,655 ÷ 3,19,298 = 4.0%

  2. Turnout of 69.1% was 11.0 pp above the state's median seat (58.1%).

    69.1 − 58.1 = +11.0

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
