Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.3% of votes; the other 7 candidates 3.7% between them.

    (81,507 + 75,276) ÷ 1,62,744 = 96.3% · 5,961 ÷ 1,62,744 = 3.7%

  2. Turnout of 66.4% was 2.0 pp above the state's median seat (64.4%).

    66.4 − 64.4 = +2.0

  3. The margin widened from 1.0 pp in 2015 to 3.8 pp.

    3.8 − 1.0 = +2.8 pp

  4. Kailash Gahlot also won in 2015.
