Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 28,006 votes, 1.9× the 14,757-vote margin.

    28,006 ÷ 14,757 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 82.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 17.3% between them.

    (86,212 + 71,455) ÷ 1,90,679 = 82.7% · 33,012 ÷ 1,90,679 = 17.3%

  3. Turnout of 78.4% was 5.3 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    78.4 − 83.7 = −5.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 10.4 pp in 2011 to 7.7 pp.

    7.7 − 10.4 = −2.7 pp

  5. Sital Kumar Sardar also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
