[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 1,03,320 votes, 282× the 366-vote margin.

    1,03,320 ÷ 366 = 282.3

  2. The top two polled 85.1% of votes; the other 10 candidates 14.9% between them.

    (3,58,812 + 3,58,446) ÷ 8,43,123 = 85.1% · 1,25,950 ÷ 8,43,123 = 14.9%

  3. Turnout of 64.9% was 4.7 pp below the state's median seat (69.6%).

    64.9 − 69.6 = −4.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.7 pp in 2004 to 0.0 pp.

    0.0 − 13.7 = −13.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SAD in 2004, INC in 2009.
