Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 83.0% of votes; the other 2 candidates 17.0% between them.

    (49,602 + 30,679) ÷ 96,774 = 83.0% · 16,493 ÷ 96,774 = 17.0%

  2. Turnout of 84.5% was 0.6 pp above the state's median seat (83.9%).

    84.5 − 83.9 = +0.6

  3. The margin widened from 18.7 pp in 2011 to 19.6 pp.

    19.6 − 18.7 = +0.9 pp

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