Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 27,761 votes, 2.4× the 11,716-vote margin.

    27,761 ÷ 11,716 = 2.4

  2. The top two polled 67.1% of votes; the other 12 candidates 32.9% between them.

    (61,996 + 50,280) ÷ 1,67,290 = 67.1% · 55,014 ÷ 1,67,290 = 32.9%

  3. Turnout of 57.2% was 3.3 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    57.2 − 60.5 = −3.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.6 pp in 2012 to 7.0 pp.

    7.0 − 7.6 = −0.6 pp

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