Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 49,882 votes, 1.8× the 27,764-vote margin.

    49,882 ÷ 27,764 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 73.0% of votes; the other 10 candidates 27.0% between them.

    (1,00,381 + 72,617) ÷ 2,36,868 = 73.0% · 63,870 ÷ 2,36,868 = 27.0%

  3. Turnout of 68.2% was 7.7 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    68.2 − 60.5 = +7.7

  4. The margin widened from 8.9 pp in 2012 to 11.7 pp.

    11.7 − 8.9 = +2.8 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: IEMC in 2012, BJP in 2017.
