Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIJP polled 38,375 votes, 2.1× the 17,979-vote margin.

    38,375 ÷ 17,979 = 2.1

  2. The top two polled 57.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 36.8% between them.

    (68,285 + 50,306) ÷ 2,07,204 = 57.2% · 76,323 ÷ 2,07,204 = 36.8%

  3. Turnout of 39.7% was 3.7 pp below the state's median seat (43.4%).

    39.7 − 43.4 = −3.7
