Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 51,938 votes, 3.1× the 16,909-vote margin.

    51,938 ÷ 16,909 = 3.1

  2. The top two polled 71.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 28.3% between them.

    (79,572 + 62,663) ÷ 1,98,404 = 71.7% · 56,169 ÷ 1,98,404 = 28.3%

  3. Turnout of 55.6% was 4.9 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    55.6 − 60.5 = −4.9

  4. The margin widened from 8.0 pp in 2012 to 8.5 pp.

    8.5 − 8.0 = +0.5 pp

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