Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 7,303 votes, 1.6× the 4,625-vote margin.

    7,303 ÷ 4,625 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 94.5% of votes; the other 5 candidates 5.5% between them.

    (80,111 + 75,486) ÷ 1,64,659 = 94.5% · 9,062 ÷ 1,64,659 = 5.5%

  3. Turnout of 71.7% was 1.8 pp below the state's median seat (73.5%).

    71.7 − 73.5 = −1.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 6.2 pp in 2014 to 2.8 pp.

    2.8 − 6.2 = −3.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJD in 2014, BJP in 2019.

    2014 BJD · 2019 BJP
