Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 10.3% between them.

    (1,25,298 + 66,654) ÷ 2,14,041 = 89.7% · 22,089 ÷ 2,14,041 = 10.3%

  2. Turnout of 85.9% was 2.2 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    85.9 − 83.7 = +2.2

  3. The margin widened from 8.3 pp in 2011 to 27.4 pp.

    27.4 − 8.3 = +19.1 pp

  4. Asima Patra also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
