Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 70.0% of votes; the other 7 candidates 30.0% between them.

    (50,408 + 27,312) ÷ 1,10,978 = 70.0% · 33,258 ÷ 1,10,978 = 30.0%

  2. Turnout of 78.2% was 1.5 pp below the state's median seat (79.7%).

    78.2 − 79.7 = −1.5

  3. The margin widened from 6.0 pp in 2007 to 20.8 pp.

    20.8 − 6.0 = +14.8 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: SAD in 2007, BJP in 2012.
