Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 26,165 votes, 1.8× the 14,579-vote margin.

    26,165 ÷ 14,579 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 69.0% of votes; the other 9 candidates 31.0% between them.

    (46,223 + 31,644) ÷ 1,12,860 = 69.0% · 34,993 ÷ 1,12,860 = 31.0%

  3. Turnout of 74.5% was 5.2 pp below the state's median seat (79.7%).

    74.5 − 79.7 = −5.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 17.9 pp in 2007 to 12.9 pp.

    12.9 − 17.9 = −5.0 pp

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

    2007 SAD · 2012 BJP
