Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 72.5% of votes; the other 13 candidates 26.2% between them.

    (3,38,892 + 2,33,651) ÷ 7,89,927 = 72.5% · 2,07,199 ÷ 7,89,927 = 26.2%

  2. Turnout of 50.3% was 6.3 pp below the state's median seat (56.6%).

    50.3 − 56.6 = −6.3

  3. The margin widened from 3.5 pp in 2009 to 13.3 pp.

    13.3 − 3.5 = +9.8 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: JD(U) in 2009, RLSP in 2014.
