Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.3% of votes; the other 12 candidates 7.6% between them.

    (1,42,987 + 74,182) ÷ 2,37,856 = 91.3% · 18,079 ÷ 2,37,856 = 7.6%

  2. Turnout of 94.0% was 0.6 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    94.0 − 93.4 = +0.6

  3. The margin widened from 0.4 pp in 2021 to 28.9 pp.

    28.9 − 0.4 = +28.5 pp
