Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 1,29,157 votes, 7.6× the 17,079-vote margin.

    1,29,157 ÷ 17,079 = 7.6

  2. NOTA polled 17,929 votes, 1.0× the winning margin of 17,079.

    17,929 ÷ 17,079 = 1.0

  3. The top two polled 79.5% of votes; the other 10 candidates 19.3% between them.

    (5,78,489 + 5,61,410) ÷ 14,34,018 = 79.5% · 2,76,190 ÷ 14,34,018 = 19.3%

  4. Turnout of 78.7% was 2.5 pp below the state's median seat (81.2%).

    78.7 − 81.2 = −2.5

  5. The margin narrowed from 15.1 pp in 2019 to 1.2 pp.

    1.2 − 15.1 = −13.9 pp

  6. Jyotirmay Singh Mahato also won in 2019.

    2019 winner name = 2024 winner name
