Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 75.2% of votes; the other 11 candidates 24.2% between them.

    (6,06,216 + 2,42,911) ÷ 11,29,008 = 75.2% · 2,72,804 ÷ 11,29,008 = 24.2%

  2. Turnout of 72.3% was 3.4 pp above the state's median seat (68.9%).

    72.3 − 68.9 = +3.4

  3. The margin widened from 5.5 pp in 2009 to 32.2 pp.

    32.2 − 5.5 = +26.7 pp
