Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.5% of votes; the other 5 candidates 12.9% between them.

    (71,202 + 48,046) ÷ 1,37,931 = 86.5% · 17,751 ÷ 1,37,931 = 12.9%

  2. Turnout of 76.4% was 3.0 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    76.4 − 79.4 = −3.0

  3. The margin widened from 0.7 pp in 2021 to 16.8 pp.

    16.8 − 0.7 = +16.1 pp

  4. Saneeshkumar Joseph also won in 2021.
