Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed IND polled 12,069 votes, 1.8× the 6,548-vote margin.
12,069 ÷ 6,548 = 1.8
The top two polled 79.6% of votes; the other 20 candidates 20.4% between them.
(76,178 + 69,630) ÷ 1,83,241 = 79.6% · 37,433 ÷ 1,83,241 = 20.4%
Turnout of 68.6% was 0.9 pp below the state's median seat (69.5%).
68.6 − 69.5 = −0.9
The margin narrowed from 10.5 pp in 2012 to 3.6 pp.
