Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.9% of votes; the other 6 candidates 3.1% between them.

    (69,700 + 65,307) ÷ 1,39,317 = 96.9% · 4,310 ÷ 1,39,317 = 3.1%

  2. Turnout of 60.9% was 16.8 pp below the state's median seat (77.7%).

    60.9 − 77.7 = −16.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 25.2 pp in 2013 to 3.2 pp.

    3.2 − 25.2 = −22.0 pp

  4. Priyank Kharge also won in 2013.
