Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 13.7% between them.

    (99,667 + 74,668) ÷ 2,02,039 = 86.3% · 27,704 ÷ 2,02,039 = 13.7%

  2. Turnout of 82.1% was 1.6 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    82.1 − 83.7 = −1.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 22.5 pp in 2011 to 12.4 pp.

    12.4 − 22.5 = −10.1 pp

  4. Chiranjeet Chakrabarti also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
