Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 16,117 votes, 3.0× the 5,304-vote margin.

    16,117 ÷ 5,304 = 3.0

  2. The top two polled 82.8% of votes; the other 7 candidates 17.2% between them.

    (62,495 + 57,191) ÷ 1,44,546 = 82.8% · 24,860 ÷ 1,44,546 = 17.2%

  3. Turnout of 68.9% was 2.0 pp above the state's median seat (66.9%).

    68.9 − 66.9 = +2.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.3 pp in 2004 to 3.7 pp.

    3.7 − 18.3 = −14.6 pp

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

    2004 BJD · 2009 INC
