[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 17,149 votes, 1.2× the 14,801-vote margin.

    17,149 ÷ 14,801 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 77.2% of votes; the other 9 candidates 22.8% between them.

    (45,082 + 30,281) ÷ 97,573 = 77.2% · 22,210 ÷ 97,573 = 22.8%

  3. Turnout of 64.2% was 0.6 pp above the state's median seat (63.6%).

    64.2 − 63.6 = +0.6

  4. The margin widened from 9.0 pp in 2012 to 15.2 pp.

    15.2 − 9.0 = +6.2 pp

  5. Premchand Aggarwal also won in 2012.
