Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.1% of votes; the other 4 candidates 3.9% between them.

    (31,101 + 25,495) ÷ 58,911 = 96.1% · 2,315 ÷ 58,911 = 3.9%

  2. Turnout of 78.8% matched the state's median seat.

    78.8 − 78.8 = 0.0

  3. The margin widened from 3.2 pp in 2012 to 9.5 pp.

    9.5 − 3.2 = +6.3 pp

  4. Virender Kanwar also won in 2012.

    2012 winner name = 2017 winner name
