Arithmetic · working shown
  1. The top two polled 96.2% of votes; the other 6 candidates 2.5% between them.

    (8,94,887 + 6,43,797) ÷ 15,99,389 = 96.2% · 40,456 ÷ 15,99,389 = 2.5%
  2. Turnout of 78.5% was 1.6 pp below the state's median seat (80.1%).

    78.5 − 80.1 = −1.6
  3. The margin widened from 2.6 pp in 2019 to 15.7 pp.

    15.7 − 2.6 = +13.1 pp
  4. The seat changed hands: IND in 2019, BJP in 2024.
