Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.0% of votes; the other 11 candidates 9.0% between them.

    (71,583 + 50,364) ÷ 1,33,944 = 91.0% · 11,994 ÷ 1,33,944 = 9.0%

  2. Turnout of 79.1% was 0.6 pp below the state's median seat (79.7%).

    79.1 − 79.7 = −0.6

  3. The margin widened from 2.9 pp in 2007 to 15.8 pp.

    15.8 − 2.9 = +12.9 pp

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