Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 7.9% between them.

    (1,13,334 + 87,378) ÷ 2,17,883 = 92.1% · 17,171 ÷ 2,17,883 = 7.9%

  2. Turnout of 83.5% was 0.2 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    83.5 − 83.7 = −0.2

  3. The margin widened from 8.3 pp in 2011 to 11.9 pp.

    11.9 − 8.3 = +3.6 pp

  4. Das Samares also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
