Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed NISHAD polled 34,901 votes, 7.9× the 4,410-vote margin.

    34,901 ÷ 4,410 = 7.9

  2. The top two polled 69.5% of votes; the other 10 candidates 30.5% between them.

    (83,686 + 79,276) ÷ 2,34,329 = 69.5% · 71,367 ÷ 2,34,329 = 30.5%

  3. Turnout of 59.4% was 1.1 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    59.4 − 60.5 = −1.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.0 pp in 2012 to 1.9 pp.

    1.9 − 9.0 = −7.1 pp

  5. Vijay Bahadur Yadav, the 2012 winner, finished second in 2017.

    2012 winner name = 2017 runner-up name
