Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 76.7% of votes; the other 40 candidates 23.1% between them.

    (5,81,022 + 2,09,238) ÷ 10,30,685 = 76.7% · 2,38,374 ÷ 10,30,685 = 23.1%

  2. Turnout of 58.3% was 0.1 pp above the state's median seat (58.2%).

    58.3 − 58.2 = +0.1

  3. The margin widened from 2.6 pp in 2009 to 36.1 pp.

    36.1 − 2.6 = +33.5 pp
