Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.4% of votes; the other 5 candidates 4.4% between them.

    (1,23,462 + 1,10,405) ÷ 2,47,691 = 94.4% · 10,928 ÷ 2,47,691 = 4.4%

  2. Turnout of 93.2% was 0.2 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    93.2 − 93.4 = −0.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 13.0 pp in 2021 to 5.3 pp.

    5.3 − 13.0 = −7.7 pp

  4. Asima Patra also won in 2021.

    2021 winner name = 2026 winner name
