Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.0% of votes; the other 7 candidates 6.0% between them.

    (1,04,586 + 69,848) ÷ 1,85,494 = 94.0% · 11,060 ÷ 1,85,494 = 6.0%

  2. Turnout of 85.5% was 5.7 pp above the state's median seat (79.8%).

    85.5 − 79.8 = +5.7

  3. The margin widened from 2.7 pp in 2006 to 18.7 pp.

    18.7 − 2.7 = +16.0 pp
