I have a topojson file which represents a hexagon. A hexagon has 6 vertices, so I was expecting the arcs
attribute of topojson file would contain 6 points, but it contains 7.
I wanted to know why there are 7 coordinates instead of 6, and what does that extra coordinate represent?

Thank you for your reply. I have another topojson file where the first and the last point of the Polygon is not same. File Link: github.com/info-design-lab/election2019/blob/gh-pages/map/…
