Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed HLP polled 7,049 votes, 1.1× the 6,652-vote margin.

    7,049 ÷ 6,652 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 77.9% of votes; the other 6 candidates 22.1% between them.

    (21,878 + 15,226) ÷ 47,619 = 77.9% · 10,515 ÷ 47,619 = 22.1%

  3. Turnout of 63.2% was 10.7 pp below the state's median seat (73.9%).

    63.2 − 73.9 = −10.7

  4. The margin widened from 9.5 pp in 2007 to 14.0 pp.

    14.0 − 9.5 = +4.5 pp

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