Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 14,079 votes, 1.5× the 9,364-vote margin.

    14,079 ÷ 9,364 = 1.5

  2. The top two polled 87.0% of votes; the other 13 candidates 13.0% between them.

    (81,169 + 71,805) ÷ 1,75,733 = 87.0% · 22,759 ÷ 1,75,733 = 13.0%

  3. Turnout of 52.4% was 8.1 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    52.4 − 60.5 = −8.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 6.4 pp in 2012 to 5.3 pp.

    5.3 − 6.4 = −1.1 pp

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