Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.9% of votes; the other 4 candidates 2.1% between them.

    (83,172 + 77,242) ÷ 1,63,900 = 97.9% · 3,486 ÷ 1,63,900 = 2.1%

  2. Turnout of 77.1% was 0.6 pp below the state's median seat (77.7%).

    77.1 − 77.7 = −0.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 7.3 pp in 2013 to 3.6 pp.

    3.6 − 7.3 = −3.7 pp

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