Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 14,830 votes, 5.0× the 2,985-vote margin.

    14,830 ÷ 2,985 = 5.0

  2. The top two polled 59.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 40.2% between them.

    (18,582 + 15,597) ÷ 57,115 = 59.8% · 22,936 ÷ 57,115 = 40.2%

  3. Turnout of 77.5% was 3.6 pp above the state's median seat (73.9%).

    77.5 − 73.9 = +3.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.9 pp in 2007 to 5.2 pp.

    5.2 − 9.9 = −4.7 pp

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