Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 37,816 votes, 4.2× the 9,009-vote margin.

    37,816 ÷ 9,009 = 4.2

  2. The top two polled 71.1% of votes; the other 16 candidates 28.9% between them.

    (67,031 + 58,022) ÷ 1,75,931 = 71.1% · 50,878 ÷ 1,75,931 = 28.9%

  3. Turnout of 55.7% was 4.8 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    55.7 − 60.5 = −4.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.8 pp in 2012 to 5.1 pp.

    5.1 − 7.8 = −2.7 pp

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