Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.6% of votes; the other 3 candidates 5.4% between them.

    (90,083 + 75,124) ÷ 1,74,628 = 94.6% · 9,421 ÷ 1,74,628 = 5.4%

  2. Turnout of 72.2% was 1.3 pp below the state's median seat (73.5%).

    72.2 − 73.5 = −1.3

  3. The margin widened from 5.1 pp in 2014 to 8.6 pp.

    8.6 − 5.1 = +3.5 pp

  4. Jyoti Prakash Panigrahi also won in 2014.
