Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.4% of votes; the other 7 candidates 0.9% between them.

    (7,64,132 + 6,14,924) ÷ 14,15,770 = 97.4% · 13,138 ÷ 14,15,770 = 0.9%

  2. Turnout of 77.9% was 3.7 pp above the state's median seat (74.2%).

    77.9 − 74.2 = +3.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 20.4 pp in 2019 to 10.5 pp.

    10.5 − 20.4 = −9.9 pp
