Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.7% of votes; the other 12 candidates 4.3% between them.

    (7,88,375 + 7,49,125) ÷ 16,23,048 = 94.7% · 69,985 ÷ 16,23,048 = 4.3%

  2. Turnout of 82.5% was 1.3 pp above the state's median seat (81.2%).

    82.5 − 81.2 = +1.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 3.6 pp in 2019 to 2.4 pp.

    2.4 − 3.6 = −1.2 pp

  4. Nisith Pramanik, the 2019 winner, finished second in 2024.

    2019 winner name = 2024 runner-up name
