Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 82.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 16.4% between them.

    (4,61,679 + 3,12,463) ÷ 9,41,985 = 82.2% · 1,54,590 ÷ 9,41,985 = 16.4%

  2. Turnout of 73.1% was 1.7 pp below the state's median seat (74.8%).

    73.1 − 74.8 = −1.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 21.6 pp in 2014 to 15.8 pp.

    15.8 − 21.6 = −5.8 pp

  4. BJD held the seat it won in 2014.
