Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 9.3% between them.

    (24,250 + 19,778) ÷ 48,532 = 90.7% · 4,504 ÷ 48,532 = 9.3%

  2. Turnout of 67.3% was 6.6 pp below the state's median seat (73.9%).

    67.3 − 73.9 = −6.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 18.6 pp in 2007 to 9.2 pp.

    9.2 − 18.6 = −9.4 pp

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