Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 98.0% of votes; the other 2 candidates 2.0% between them.

    (80,668 + 73,468) ÷ 1,57,310 = 98.0% · 3,174 ÷ 1,57,310 = 2.0%

  2. Turnout of 73.8% was 3.9 pp below the state's median seat (77.7%).

    73.8 − 77.7 = −3.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 8.7 pp in 2013 to 4.6 pp.

    4.6 − 8.7 = −4.1 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 2013, BJP in 2018.
