Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 54,345 votes, 3.1× the 17,735-vote margin.

    54,345 ÷ 17,735 = 3.1

  2. The top two polled 65.6% of votes; the other 12 candidates 34.4% between them.

    (77,814 + 60,079) ÷ 2,10,219 = 65.6% · 72,326 ÷ 2,10,219 = 34.4%

  3. Turnout of 57.5% was 3.0 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    57.5 − 60.5 = −3.0

  4. The margin widened from 7.2 pp in 2012 to 8.4 pp.

    8.4 − 7.2 = +1.2 pp

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