Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed RSP polled 29,885 votes, 1.4× the 22,038-vote margin.

    29,885 ÷ 22,038 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 76.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 24.0% between them.

    (66,989 + 44,951) ÷ 1,47,233 = 76.0% · 35,293 ÷ 1,47,233 = 24.0%

  3. Turnout of 77.0% was 6.7 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    77.0 − 83.7 = −6.7

  4. The margin widened from 5.9 pp in 2011 to 15.0 pp.

    15.0 − 5.9 = +9.1 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: RSP in 2011, BJP in 2016.
