Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 74.4% of votes; the other 7 candidates 25.6% between them.

    (1,25,154 + 56,793) ÷ 2,44,643 = 74.4% · 62,696 ÷ 2,44,643 = 25.6%

  2. Turnout of 63.3% was 2.8 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    63.3 − 60.5 = +2.8

  3. The margin widened from 16.7 pp in 2012 to 27.9 pp.

    27.9 − 16.7 = +11.2 pp
