Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 51,091 votes, 1.8× the 28,679-vote margin.

    51,091 ÷ 28,679 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 72.0% of votes; the other 13 candidates 28.0% between them.

    (1,08,403 + 79,724) ÷ 2,61,271 = 72.0% · 73,144 ÷ 2,61,271 = 28.0%

  3. Turnout of 69.7% was 9.2 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    69.7 − 60.5 = +9.2

  4. The margin widened from 10.2 pp in 2012 to 11.0 pp.

    11.0 − 10.2 = +0.8 pp

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

    2012 SP · 2017 BJP
