Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.5% of votes; the other 1 candidate 4.5% between them.

    (1,46,579 + 45,428) ÷ 2,01,080 = 95.5% · 9,073 ÷ 2,01,080 = 4.5%

  2. Turnout of 86.5% was 2.8 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    86.5 − 83.7 = +2.8

  3. The margin widened from 18.8 pp in 2011 to 50.3 pp.

    50.3 − 18.8 = +31.5 pp

  4. Rameswar Doloi, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.

    2011 winner name = 2016 runner-up name
