Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.7% of votes; the other 9 candidates 7.6% between them.

    (1,20,760 + 47,568) ÷ 1,83,573 = 91.7% · 14,021 ÷ 1,83,573 = 7.6%

  2. Turnout of 90.8% was 2.6 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    90.8 − 93.4 = −2.6

  3. The margin widened from 20.2 pp in 2021 to 39.9 pp.

    39.9 − 20.2 = +19.7 pp
