Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 83.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 16.2% between them.

    (1,08,412 + 76,805) ÷ 2,22,178 = 83.4% · 36,103 ÷ 2,22,178 = 16.2%

  2. Turnout of 95.2% was 1.8 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    95.2 − 93.4 = +1.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 26.4 pp in 2021 to 14.2 pp.

    14.2 − 26.4 = −12.2 pp
