Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.5% of votes; the other 6 candidates 8.2% between them.

    (1,06,571 + 85,295) ÷ 2,11,974 = 90.5% · 17,311 ÷ 2,11,974 = 8.2%

  2. Turnout of 91.1% was 2.3 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    91.1 − 93.4 = −2.3

  3. The margin widened from 3.8 pp in 2021 to 10.0 pp.

    10.0 − 3.8 = +6.2 pp

  4. Kamala Kanta Hansda also won in 2021.

    2021 winner name = 2026 winner name
