Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 21,578 votes, 1.7× the 13,074-vote margin.

    21,578 ÷ 13,074 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 61.5% of votes; the other 9 candidates 38.1% between them.

    (47,204 + 34,130) ÷ 1,32,245 = 61.5% · 50,326 ÷ 1,32,245 = 38.1%

  3. Turnout of 84.3% was 12.1 pp above the state's median seat (72.2%).

    84.3 − 72.2 = +12.1
