Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 2,37,007 votes, 1.6× the 1,47,156-vote margin.

    2,37,007 ÷ 1,47,156 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 79.1% of votes; the other 9 candidates 20.3% between them.

    (5,63,865 + 4,16,709) ÷ 12,39,635 = 79.1% · 2,51,711 ÷ 12,39,635 = 20.3%

  3. Turnout of 77.1% was 1.5 pp above the state's median seat (75.6%).

    77.1 − 75.6 = +1.5

  4. The margin widened from 1.1 pp in 2019 to 11.9 pp.

    11.9 − 1.1 = +10.8 pp

  5. Pratap Chandra Sarangi also won in 2019.

    2019 winner name = 2024 winner name
