Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.6% of votes; the other 1 candidate 2.1% between them.

    (2,25,328 + 2,12,451) ÷ 4,57,869 = 95.6% · 9,509 ÷ 4,57,869 = 2.1%

  2. Turnout of 82.7% was 2.6 pp above the state's median seat (80.1%).

    82.7 − 80.1 = +2.6

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
