Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 11,770 votes, 6.2× the 1,884-vote margin.

    11,770 ÷ 1,884 = 6.2

  2. NOTA polled 18,669 votes, 9.9× the winning margin of 1,884.

    18,669 ÷ 1,884 = 9.9

  3. The top two polled 94.3% of votes; the other 7 candidates 4.2% between them.

    (5,97,624 + 5,95,740) ÷ 12,65,429 = 94.3% · 53,396 ÷ 12,65,429 = 4.2%

  4. Turnout of 76.5% was 1.3 pp above the state's median seat (75.2%).

    76.5 − 75.2 = +1.3

  5. The margin narrowed from 0.6 pp in 2019 to 0.1 pp.

    0.1 − 0.6 = −0.5 pp

  6. BJP held the seat it won in 2019.
