Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 10.0% between them.

    (1,04,416 + 80,198) ÷ 2,05,141 = 90.0% · 20,527 ÷ 2,05,141 = 10.0%

  2. Turnout of 89.5% was 5.8 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    89.5 − 83.7 = +5.8

  3. The margin widened from 0.7 pp in 2011 to 11.8 pp.

    11.8 − 0.7 = +11.1 pp

  4. Prabodh Chandra Sinha, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.

    2011 winner name = 2016 runner-up name
