Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJD polled 26,645 votes, 1.7× the 15,335-vote margin.

    26,645 ÷ 15,335 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 62.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 37.8% between them.

    (52,415 + 37,080) ÷ 1,43,983 = 62.2% · 54,488 ÷ 1,43,983 = 37.8%

  3. Turnout of 68.4% was 5.1 pp below the state's median seat (73.5%).

    68.4 − 73.5 = −5.1

  4. The margin widened from 1.1 pp in 2014 to 10.7 pp.

    10.7 − 1.1 = +9.6 pp

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