Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 17,877 votes, 1.9× the 9,193-vote margin.

    17,877 ÷ 9,193 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 87.6% of votes; the other 4 candidates 12.4% between them.

    (90,671 + 81,478) ÷ 1,96,558 = 87.6% · 24,409 ÷ 1,96,558 = 12.4%

  3. Turnout of 84.2% was 0.5 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    84.2 − 83.7 = +0.5

  4. The margin held at 4.7 pp, as in 2011.

    4.7 − 4.7 = 0.0 pp

  5. Sabya Sachi Dutta also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
