Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BDJS polled 1,06,400 votes, 1.7× the 63,754-vote margin.

    1,06,400 ÷ 63,754 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 76.2% of votes; the other 9 candidates 23.0% between them.

    (3,94,171 + 3,30,417) ÷ 9,51,287 = 76.2% · 2,18,636 ÷ 9,51,287 = 23.0%

  3. Turnout of 72.6% was 0.3 pp below the state's median seat (73.0%).

    72.6 − 73.0 = −0.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.4 pp in 2019 to 6.7 pp.

    6.7 − 13.4 = −6.7 pp

  5. Benny Behanan also won in 2019.
