Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 35,073 votes, 1.8× the 19,928-vote margin.

    35,073 ÷ 19,928 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 55.1% of votes; the other 12 candidates 44.9% between them.

    (58,823 + 38,895) ÷ 1,77,205 = 55.1% · 79,487 ÷ 1,77,205 = 44.9%

  3. Turnout of 61.0% was 1.6 pp above the state's median seat (59.4%).

    61.0 − 59.4 = +1.6

  4. The margin widened from 8.5 pp in 2007 to 11.2 pp.

    11.2 − 8.5 = +2.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BSP in 2007, BJP in 2012.
