Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 45,658 votes, 47× the 976-vote margin.

    45,658 ÷ 976 = 46.8

  2. NOTA polled 1,525 votes, 1.6× the winning margin of 976.

    1,525 ÷ 976 = 1.6

  3. The top two polled 64.6% of votes; the other 4 candidates 34.4% between them.

    (48,488 + 47,512) ÷ 1,48,704 = 64.6% · 51,179 ÷ 1,48,704 = 34.4%

  4. Turnout of 77.9% was 8.7 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    77.9 − 86.6 = −8.7

  5. The margin narrowed from 3.8 pp in 2021 to 0.7 pp.

    0.7 − 3.8 = −3.1 pp

  6. The seat changed hands: INC in 2021, BJP in 2026.
