Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 77.1% of votes; the other 11 candidates 22.9% between them.

    (4,00,472 + 1,47,712) ÷ 7,10,998 = 77.1% · 1,62,857 ÷ 7,10,998 = 22.9%

  2. Turnout of 49.1% was 17.6 pp below the state's median seat (66.7%).

    49.1 − 66.7 = −17.6

  3. The margin widened from 9.6 pp in 2004 to 35.6 pp.

    35.6 − 9.6 = +26.0 pp
