Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.6% of votes; the other 2 candidates 2.4% between them.

    (5,43,306 + 4,91,158) ÷ 10,71,053 = 96.6% · 25,902 ÷ 10,71,053 = 2.4%

  2. Turnout of 65.1% was 4.0 pp above the state's median seat (61.1%).

    65.1 − 61.1 = +4.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 32.2 pp in 2014 to 4.9 pp.

    4.9 − 32.2 = −27.3 pp
