Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 37,922 votes, 3.0× the 12,852-vote margin.

    37,922 ÷ 12,852 = 3.0

  2. The top two polled 57.0% of votes; the other 22 candidates 43.0% between them.

    (57,918 + 45,066) ÷ 1,80,689 = 57.0% · 77,705 ÷ 1,80,689 = 43.0%

  3. Turnout of 51.7% was 7.7 pp below the state's median seat (59.4%).

    51.7 − 59.4 = −7.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 14.9 pp in 2007 to 7.1 pp.

    7.1 − 14.9 = −7.8 pp

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