Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 9.4% between them.

    (48,207 + 36,864) ÷ 93,891 = 90.6% · 8,820 ÷ 93,891 = 9.4%

  2. Turnout of 68.8% was 10.9 pp below the state's median seat (79.7%).

    68.8 − 79.7 = −10.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 17.8 pp in 2007 to 12.1 pp.

    12.1 − 17.8 = −5.7 pp

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