Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 6.8% between them.

    (1,34,471 + 93,695) ÷ 2,44,693 = 93.2% · 16,527 ÷ 2,44,693 = 6.8%

  2. Turnout of 57.0% was 3.3 pp below the state's median seat (60.3%).

    57.0 − 60.3 = −3.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 20.1 pp in 2017 to 16.7 pp.

    16.7 − 20.1 = −3.4 pp

  4. Ravindra Jaiswal also won in 2017.
