Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.8% of votes; the other 8 candidates 1.6% between them.

    (6,32,793 + 3,80,898) ÷ 10,36,868 = 97.8% · 16,805 ÷ 10,36,868 = 1.6%

  2. Turnout of 69.0% was 3.6 pp below the state's median seat (72.6%).

    69.0 − 72.6 = −3.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 47.4 pp in 2019 to 24.3 pp.

    24.3 − 47.4 = −23.1 pp

  4. BJP held the seat it won in 2019.
