Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 74.5% of votes; the other 6 candidates 25.5% between them.

    (64,558 + 12,582) ÷ 1,03,549 = 74.5% · 26,409 ÷ 1,03,549 = 25.5%

  2. Turnout of 80.0% was 3.9 pp below the state's median seat (83.9%).

    80.0 − 83.9 = −3.9

  3. The margin widened from 5.2 pp in 2011 to 50.2 pp.

    50.2 − 5.2 = +45.0 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2011, AGP in 2016.
