Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 8.7% between them.

    (27,931 + 15,967) ÷ 48,093 = 91.3% · 4,195 ÷ 48,093 = 8.7%

  2. Turnout of 67.5% was 11.3 pp below the state's median seat (78.8%).

    67.5 − 78.8 = −11.3

  3. The margin widened from 2.2 pp in 2012 to 24.9 pp.

    24.9 − 2.2 = +22.7 pp

  4. Mahender Singh also won in 2012.

    2012 winner name = 2017 winner name
