Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 23,102 votes, 1.2× the 19,911-vote margin.

    23,102 ÷ 19,911 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 79.7% of votes; the other 9 candidates 20.3% between them.

    (73,423 + 53,512) ÷ 1,59,350 = 79.7% · 32,415 ÷ 1,59,350 = 20.3%

  3. Turnout of 89.0% was 5.1 pp above the state's median seat (83.9%).

    89.0 − 83.9 = +5.1

  4. The margin held at 12.5 pp, as in 2011.

    12.5 − 12.5 = 0.0 pp

  5. Banendra Kumar Mushahary, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.

    2011 winner name = 2016 runner-up name
