Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.0% of votes; the other 7 candidates 8.6% between them.

    (82,637 + 51,788) ÷ 1,47,671 = 91.0% · 12,771 ÷ 1,47,671 = 8.6%

  2. Turnout of 65.0% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (67.7%).

    65.0 − 67.7 = −2.7

  3. The margin widened from 6.6 pp in 2013 to 20.9 pp.

    20.9 − 6.6 = +14.3 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2013, AAP in 2015.
