Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 60,142 votes, 8.8× the 6,827-vote margin.

    60,142 ÷ 6,827 = 8.8

  2. The top two polled 67.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 32.6% between them.

    (70,527 + 63,700) ÷ 1,99,226 = 67.4% · 64,999 ÷ 1,99,226 = 32.6%

  3. Turnout of 57.6% was 2.9 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    57.6 − 60.5 = −2.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.9 pp in 2012 to 3.4 pp.

    3.4 − 5.9 = −2.5 pp

  5. Ram Prasad Chaudhary, the 2012 winner, finished second in 2017.

    2012 winner name = 2017 runner-up name
