Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 24,119 votes, 1.0× the 23,084-vote margin.

    24,119 ÷ 23,084 = 1.0

  2. The top two polled 82.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 17.8% between them.

    (1,11,538 + 88,454) ÷ 2,43,444 = 82.2% · 43,452 ÷ 2,43,444 = 17.8%

  3. Turnout of 63.8% was 3.3 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    63.8 − 60.5 = +3.3

  4. The margin widened from 3.4 pp in 2012 to 9.5 pp.

    9.5 − 3.4 = +6.1 pp

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