Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 37,159 votes, 3.1× the 12,121-vote margin.

    37,159 ÷ 12,121 = 3.1

  2. The top two polled 64.4% of votes; the other 14 candidates 35.6% between them.

    (64,485 + 52,364) ÷ 1,81,309 = 64.4% · 64,460 ÷ 1,81,309 = 35.6%

  3. Turnout of 54.1% was 5.3 pp below the state's median seat (59.4%).

    54.1 − 59.4 = −5.3

  4. The margin widened from 1.6 pp in 2007 to 6.7 pp.

    6.7 − 1.6 = +5.1 pp

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

    2007 SP · 2012 BSP
