Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.5% of votes; the other 4 candidates 3.5% between them.

    (25,488 + 22,863) ÷ 50,113 = 96.5% · 1,762 ÷ 50,113 = 3.5%

  2. Turnout of 79.9% was 6.0 pp above the state's median seat (73.9%).

    79.9 − 73.9 = +6.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 12.9 pp in 2007 to 5.2 pp.

    5.2 − 12.9 = −7.7 pp

  4. BJP held the seat it won in 2007.
