Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 7.0% between them.

    (89,486 + 79,926) ÷ 1,82,253 = 93.0% · 12,841 ÷ 1,82,253 = 7.0%

  2. Turnout of 86.1% was 2.4 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    86.1 − 83.7 = +2.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 5.8 pp in 2011 to 5.2 pp.

    5.2 − 5.8 = −0.6 pp

  4. Namita Saha also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
