Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.4% of votes; the other 2 candidates 2.6% between them.

    (70,503 + 36,560) ÷ 1,09,956 = 97.4% · 2,893 ÷ 1,09,956 = 2.6%

  2. Turnout of 84.6% was 0.7 pp above the state's median seat (83.9%).

    84.6 − 83.9 = +0.7

  3. The margin widened from 5.4 pp in 2011 to 30.9 pp.

    30.9 − 5.4 = +25.5 pp

  4. Nilamani Sen Deka, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.

    2011 winner name = 2016 runner-up name
