Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed PRAGAT polled 2,535 votes, 3.2× the 804-vote margin.
2,535 ÷ 804 = 3.2
The top two polled 89.3% of votes; the other 1 candidate 10.7% between them.
(10,965 + 10,161) ÷ 23,661 = 89.3% · 2,535 ÷ 23,661 = 10.7%
Turnout of 41.1% was 4.2 pp below the state's median seat (45.3%).
