Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 1,134 votes, 1.8× the 639-vote margin.

    1,134 ÷ 639 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 97.1% of votes; the other 4 candidates 2.9% between them.

    (56,176 + 55,537) ÷ 1,15,031 = 97.1% · 3,318 ÷ 1,15,031 = 2.9%

  3. Turnout of 80.9% was 1.2 pp above the state's median seat (79.7%).

    80.9 − 79.7 = +1.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.0 pp in 2007 to 0.6 pp.

    0.6 − 18.0 = −17.4 pp

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