Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 38,594 votes, 1.8× the 21,687-vote margin.

    38,594 ÷ 21,687 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 69.8% of votes; the other 10 candidates 30.2% between them.

    (64,774 + 43,087) ÷ 1,54,598 = 69.8% · 46,737 ÷ 1,54,598 = 30.2%

  3. Turnout of 67.6% was 9.9 pp below the state's median seat (77.5%).

    67.6 − 77.5 = −9.9

  4. The margin widened from 1.8 pp in 2013 to 14.0 pp.

    14.0 − 1.8 = +12.2 pp

  5. BSP held the seat it won in 2013.
