Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 10.9% between them.

    (98,042 + 75,143) ÷ 1,94,383 = 89.1% · 21,198 ÷ 1,94,383 = 10.9%

  2. Turnout of 86.4% was 2.7 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    86.4 − 83.7 = +2.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 16.2 pp in 2011 to 11.8 pp.

    11.8 − 16.2 = −4.4 pp

  4. Dhiman Roy also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
