Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.4% of votes; the other 10 candidates 4.6% between them.

    (93,087 + 70,305) ÷ 1,71,282 = 95.4% · 7,890 ÷ 1,71,282 = 4.6%

  2. Turnout of 67.7% was 1.8 pp below the state's median seat (69.5%).

    67.7 − 69.5 = −1.8

  3. The margin widened from 2.9 pp in 2012 to 13.3 pp.

    13.3 − 2.9 = +10.4 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 2012, BJP in 2017.
