Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 85.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 14.4% between them.

    (99,073 + 73,347) ÷ 2,01,506 = 85.6% · 29,086 ÷ 2,01,506 = 14.4%

  2. Turnout of 80.5% was 7.0 pp above the state's median seat (73.5%).

    80.5 − 73.5 = +7.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 28.5 pp in 2014 to 12.8 pp.

    12.8 − 28.5 = −15.7 pp

  4. Niranjan Pujari also won in 2014.
