Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 5.3% between them.

    (32,783 + 25,001) ÷ 60,989 = 94.7% · 3,205 ÷ 60,989 = 5.3%

  2. Turnout of 75.3% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (78.0%).

    75.3 − 78.0 = −2.7

  3. The margin widened from 3.5 pp in 2017 to 12.8 pp.

    12.8 − 3.5 = +9.3 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2017, INC in 2022.
