Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.1% of votes; the other 12 candidates 5.9% between them.

    (79,713 + 59,443) ÷ 1,47,870 = 94.1% · 8,714 ÷ 1,47,870 = 5.9%

  2. Turnout of 54.0% was 15.5 pp below the state's median seat (69.5%).

    54.0 − 69.5 = −15.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 15.4 pp in 2012 to 13.7 pp.

    13.7 − 15.4 = −1.7 pp

  4. BJP held the seat it won in 2012.
