Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 20,870 votes, 2.1× the 9,796-vote margin.

    20,870 ÷ 9,796 = 2.1

  2. The top two polled 68.7% of votes; the other 3 candidates 31.3% between them.

    (45,289 + 35,493) ÷ 1,17,509 = 68.7% · 36,727 ÷ 1,17,509 = 31.3%

  3. Turnout of 80.9% was 3.0 pp below the state's median seat (83.9%).

    80.9 − 83.9 = −3.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 17.8 pp in 2011 to 8.3 pp.

    8.3 − 17.8 = −9.5 pp

  5. Maneswar Brahma also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
