Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed QED polled 20,454 votes, 1.5× the 13,822-vote margin.

    20,454 ÷ 13,822 = 1.5

  2. The top two polled 67.3% of votes; the other 10 candidates 32.7% between them.

    (57,868 + 44,046) ÷ 1,51,400 = 67.3% · 49,486 ÷ 1,51,400 = 32.7%

  3. Turnout of 55.5% was 3.9 pp below the state's median seat (59.4%).

    55.5 − 59.4 = −3.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.3 pp in 2007 to 9.1 pp.

    9.1 − 13.3 = −4.2 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BSP in 2007, BJP in 2012.
