Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 21,946 votes, 523× the 42-vote margin.

    21,946 ÷ 42 = 522.5

  2. NOTA polled 1,621 votes, 39× the winning margin of 42.

    1,621 ÷ 42 = 38.6

  3. The top two polled 70.9% of votes; the other 6 candidates 29.1% between them.

    (36,482 + 36,440) ÷ 1,02,913 = 70.9% · 29,991 ÷ 1,02,913 = 29.1%

  4. Turnout of 79.5% was 4.4 pp below the state's median seat (83.9%).

    79.5 − 83.9 = −4.4

  5. The margin narrowed from 12.0 pp in 2011 to 0.0 pp.

    0.0 − 12.0 = −12.0 pp

  6. The seat changed hands: INC in 2011, BJP in 2016.

    2011 INC · 2016 BJP
