Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed PRAGAT polled 2,954 votes, 1.9× the 1,535-vote margin.

    2,954 ÷ 1,535 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 50.8% of votes; the other 5 candidates 49.2% between them.

    (4,599 + 3,064) ÷ 15,098 = 50.8% · 7,435 ÷ 15,098 = 49.2%

  3. Turnout of 27.3% was 6.5 pp below the state's median seat (33.8%).

    27.3 − 33.8 = −6.5

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
