[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,91,739 votes, 2.1× the 90,835-vote margin.

    1,91,739 ÷ 90,835 = 2.1

  2. The top two polled 76.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 24.0% between them.

    (4,30,150 + 3,39,315) ÷ 10,11,776 = 76.1% · 2,42,557 ÷ 10,11,776 = 24.0%

  3. Turnout of 70.1% was 3.4 pp above the state's median seat (66.7%).

    70.1 − 66.7 = +3.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 19.4 pp in 2004 to 9.0 pp.

    9.0 − 19.4 = −10.4 pp

  5. BJD held the seat it won in 2004.
