Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 12.3% between them.

    (1,14,297 + 21,201) ÷ 1,54,449 = 87.7% · 18,951 ÷ 1,54,449 = 12.3%

  2. Turnout of 78.2% was 7.7 pp below the state's median seat (85.9%).

    78.2 − 85.9 = −7.7

  3. The margin widened from 27.9 pp in 2006 to 60.3 pp.

    60.3 − 27.9 = +32.4 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: GNLF in 2006, GJM in 2011.
