Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 25,956 votes, 6.1× the 4,255-vote margin.

    25,956 ÷ 4,255 = 6.1

  2. NOTA polled 5,715 votes, 1.3× the winning margin of 4,255.

    5,715 ÷ 4,255 = 1.3

  3. The top two polled 70.1% of votes; the other 4 candidates 29.9% between them.

    (51,244 + 46,989) ÷ 1,40,097 = 70.1% · 41,864 ÷ 1,40,097 = 29.9%

  4. Turnout of 73.3% was 0.2 pp below the state's median seat (73.5%).

    73.3 − 73.5 = −0.2

  5. The margin narrowed from 8.8 pp in 2014 to 3.0 pp.

    3.0 − 8.8 = −5.8 pp

  6. BJD held the seat it won in 2014.
