Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 55,947 votes, 1.8× the 30,811-vote margin.

    55,947 ÷ 30,811 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 70.2% of votes; the other 8 candidates 29.8% between them.

    (92,095 + 61,284) ÷ 2,18,521 = 70.2% · 65,142 ÷ 2,18,521 = 29.8%

  3. Turnout of 60.3% was 0.2 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    60.3 − 60.5 = −0.2

  4. The margin widened from 3.5 pp in 2012 to 14.1 pp.

    14.1 − 3.5 = +10.6 pp

  5. Bawan Singh also won in 2012.
