Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 77.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 22.8% between them.

    (50,487 + 26,894) ÷ 1,00,273 = 77.2% · 22,892 ÷ 1,00,273 = 22.8%

  2. Turnout of 55.9% was 11.0 pp below the state's median seat (66.9%).

    55.9 − 66.9 = −11.0

  3. The margin widened from 9.5 pp in 2004 to 23.5 pp.

    23.5 − 9.5 = +14.0 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJD in 2004, INC in 2009.

    2004 BJD · 2009 INC
