Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 54,271 votes, 3.6× the 14,960-vote margin.

    54,271 ÷ 14,960 = 3.6

  2. The top two polled 67.6% of votes; the other 9 candidates 32.4% between them.

    (70,980 + 56,020) ÷ 1,87,779 = 67.6% · 60,779 ÷ 1,87,779 = 32.4%

  3. Turnout of 55.9% was 4.6 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    55.9 − 60.5 = −4.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.5 pp in 2012 to 8.0 pp.

    8.0 − 18.5 = −10.5 pp

  5. SP held the seat it won in 2012.
