Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JCC(J) polled 28,332 votes, 1.1× the 25,131-vote margin.

    28,332 ÷ 25,131 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 73.8% of votes; the other 13 candidates 26.2% between them.

    (74,914 + 49,783) ÷ 1,69,018 = 73.8% · 44,321 ÷ 1,69,018 = 26.2%

  3. Turnout of 76.7% was 0.8 pp below the state's median seat (77.5%).

    76.7 − 77.5 = −0.8

  4. The margin widened from 9.8 pp in 2013 to 14.9 pp.

    14.9 − 9.8 = +5.1 pp

  5. Awadhesh Singh Chandel, the 2013 winner, finished second in 2018.

    2013 winner name = 2018 runner-up name
