[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 4,678 votes, 4.4× the 1,065-vote margin.

    4,678 ÷ 1,065 = 4.4

  2. The top two polled 91.2% of votes; the other 9 candidates 8.8% between them.

    (44,963 + 43,898) ÷ 97,457 = 91.2% · 8,596 ÷ 97,457 = 8.8%

  3. Turnout of 68.9% was 10.8 pp below the state's median seat (79.7%).

    68.9 − 79.7 = −10.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 3.3 pp in 2007 to 1.1 pp.

    1.1 − 3.3 = −2.2 pp

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

    2007 INC · 2012 BJP
