Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed DMDK polled 6,014 votes, 7.4× the 818-vote margin.
6,014 ÷ 818 = 7.4
NOTA polled 1,658 votes, 2.0× the winning margin of 818.
1,658 ÷ 818 = 2.0
The top two polled 85.2% of votes; the other 17 candidates 14.8% between them.
(74,418 + 73,600) ÷ 1,73,648 = 85.2% · 25,630 ÷ 1,73,648 = 14.8%
Turnout of 82.4% was 5.9 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).
82.4 − 76.5 = +5.9
The margin narrowed from 20.4 pp in 2011 to 0.5 pp.
