Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 46,636 votes, 4.2× the 11,070-vote margin.

    46,636 ÷ 11,070 = 4.2

  2. The top two polled 66.2% of votes; the other 13 candidates 33.8% between them.

    (67,416 + 56,346) ÷ 1,86,992 = 66.2% · 63,230 ÷ 1,86,992 = 33.8%

  3. Turnout of 59.7% was 0.3 pp above the state's median seat (59.4%).

    59.7 − 59.4 = +0.3

  4. The margin held at 5.9 pp, as in 2007.

    5.9 − 5.9 = 0.0 pp

  5. BSP held the seat it won in 2007.
