Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 37,052 votes, 1.1× the 34,053-vote margin.

    37,052 ÷ 34,053 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 66.3% of votes; the other 13 candidates 33.7% between them.

    (79,209 + 45,156) ÷ 1,87,647 = 66.3% · 63,282 ÷ 1,87,647 = 33.7%

  3. Turnout of 58.5% was 2.0 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    58.5 − 60.5 = −2.0

  4. The margin widened from 2.2 pp in 2012 to 18.1 pp.

    18.1 − 2.2 = +15.9 pp

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

    2012 SP · 2017 BJP
