Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 68,114 votes, 2.6× the 26,483-vote margin.

    68,114 ÷ 26,483 = 2.6

  2. The top two polled 69.6% of votes; the other 7 candidates 30.4% between them.

    (97,567 + 71,084) ÷ 2,42,214 = 69.6% · 73,563 ÷ 2,42,214 = 30.4%

  3. Turnout of 62.1% was 1.6 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    62.1 − 60.5 = +1.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.4 pp in 2012 to 10.9 pp.

    10.9 − 13.4 = −2.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SP in 2012, BSP in 2017.
