Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 54,723 votes, 16× the 3,353-vote margin.

    54,723 ÷ 3,353 = 16.3

  2. NOTA polled 3,360 votes, 1.0× the winning margin of 3,353.

    3,360 ÷ 3,353 = 1.0

  3. The top two polled 71.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 28.3% between them.

    (79,809 + 76,456) ÷ 2,17,963 = 71.7% · 61,698 ÷ 2,17,963 = 28.3%

  4. Turnout of 67.8% was 7.3 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    67.8 − 60.5 = +7.3
