Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.0% of votes; the other 7 candidates 6.0% between them.

    (1,03,060 + 74,840) ÷ 1,89,348 = 94.0% · 11,448 ÷ 1,89,348 = 6.0%

  2. Turnout of 88.0% was 2.1 pp above the state's median seat (85.9%).

    88.0 − 85.9 = +2.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 28.4 pp in 2006 to 14.9 pp.

    14.9 − 28.4 = −13.5 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: AIFB in 2006, AITC in 2011.
