Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 36,549 votes, 2.0× the 18,659-vote margin.

    36,549 ÷ 18,659 = 2.0

  2. The top two polled 54.3% of votes; the other 13 candidates 45.7% between them.

    (62,296 + 43,637) ÷ 1,95,020 = 54.3% · 89,087 ÷ 1,95,020 = 45.7%

  3. Turnout of 53.1% was 7.4 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    53.1 − 60.5 = −7.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 19.8 pp in 2012 to 9.6 pp.

    9.6 − 19.8 = −10.2 pp

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