Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 67.7% of votes; the other 7 candidates 32.2% between them.

    (3,15,314 + 1,64,307) ÷ 7,08,100 = 67.7% · 2,28,127 ÷ 7,08,100 = 32.2%

  2. Turnout of 66.5% was 0.2 pp below the state's median seat (66.7%).

    66.5 − 66.7 = −0.2

  3. The margin widened from 3.2 pp in 2004 to 21.3 pp.

    21.3 − 3.2 = +18.1 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2004, BJD in 2009.
