Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 39,344 votes, 1.8× the 22,359-vote margin.

    39,344 ÷ 22,359 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 79.0% of votes; the other 6 candidates 21.0% between them.

    (99,100 + 76,741) ÷ 2,22,467 = 79.0% · 46,626 ÷ 2,22,467 = 21.0%

  3. Turnout of 67.1% was 6.6 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    67.1 − 60.5 = +6.6

  4. The margin widened from 5.2 pp in 2012 to 10.1 pp.

    10.1 − 5.2 = +4.9 pp

  5. Sanjay Kapoor, the 2012 winner, finished second in 2017.

    2012 winner name = 2017 runner-up name
