Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 45,532 votes, 7.2× the 6,287-vote margin.

    45,532 ÷ 6,287 = 7.2

  2. The top two polled 70.0% of votes; the other 6 candidates 30.0% between them.

    (84,358 + 78,071) ÷ 2,32,172 = 70.0% · 69,743 ÷ 2,32,172 = 30.0%

  3. Turnout of 62.7% was 2.2 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    62.7 − 60.5 = +2.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.7 pp in 2012 to 2.7 pp.

    2.7 − 8.7 = −6.0 pp

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