Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.1% of votes; the other 8 candidates 6.9% between them.

    (4,63,700 + 3,58,760) ÷ 9,33,076 = 88.1% · 64,057 ÷ 9,33,076 = 6.9%

  2. Turnout of 73.5% was 2.0 pp below the state's median seat (75.5%).

    73.5 − 75.5 = −2.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 12.1 pp in 2009 to 11.2 pp.

    11.2 − 12.1 = −0.9 pp

  4. Raja, A., the 2009 winner, finished second in 2014.

    2009 winner name = 2014 runner-up name
