Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 39,638 votes, 9.0× the 4,418-vote margin.

    39,638 ÷ 4,418 = 9.0

  2. The top two polled 61.4% of votes; the other 16 candidates 38.6% between them.

    (51,717 + 47,299) ÷ 1,61,280 = 61.4% · 62,264 ÷ 1,61,280 = 38.6%

  3. Turnout of 75.2% was 2.3 pp below the state's median seat (77.5%).

    75.2 − 77.5 = −2.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.1 pp in 2013 to 2.7 pp.

    2.7 − 4.1 = −1.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2013, INC in 2018.
