Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 11,108 votes, 1.6× the 6,858-vote margin.

    11,108 ÷ 6,858 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 95.4% of votes; the other 12 candidates 4.6% between them.

    (3,92,046 + 3,85,188) ÷ 8,14,503 = 95.4% · 37,245 ÷ 8,14,503 = 4.6%

  3. Turnout of 65.6% was 4.0 pp below the state's median seat (69.6%).

    65.6 − 69.6 = −4.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.8 pp in 2007 to 0.8 pp.

    0.8 − 8.8 = −8.0 pp

  5. Navjot Singh Sidhu also won in 2007.

    2007 winner name = 2009 winner name
