Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 33,481 votes, 6.2× the 5,405-vote margin.

    33,481 ÷ 5,405 = 6.2

  2. The top two polled 54.7% of votes; the other 24 candidates 45.3% between them.

    (55,262 + 49,857) ÷ 1,92,279 = 54.7% · 87,160 ÷ 1,92,279 = 45.3%

  3. Turnout of 60.7% was 1.3 pp above the state's median seat (59.4%).

    60.7 − 59.4 = +1.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.7 pp in 2007 to 2.8 pp.

    2.8 − 16.7 = −13.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 2007, SP in 2012.

    2007 INC · 2012 SP
