Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 7,703 votes, 6.3× the 1,229-vote margin.

    7,703 ÷ 1,229 = 6.3

  2. NOTA polled 1,710 votes, 1.4× the winning margin of 1,229.

    1,710 ÷ 1,229 = 1.4

  3. The top two polled 93.1% of votes; the other 7 candidates 6.9% between them.

    (1,01,161 + 99,932) ÷ 2,15,930 = 93.1% · 14,837 ÷ 2,15,930 = 6.9%

  4. Turnout of 89.1% was 5.4 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    89.1 − 83.7 = +5.4

  5. The margin narrowed from 3.0 pp in 2011 to 0.6 pp.

    0.6 − 3.0 = −2.4 pp

  6. Debasree Roy also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
