Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 8.6% between them.

    (85,026 + 76,263) ÷ 1,76,514 = 91.4% · 15,225 ÷ 1,76,514 = 8.6%

  2. Turnout of 80.8% was 2.9 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    80.8 − 83.7 = −2.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 7.1 pp in 2011 to 5.0 pp.

    5.0 − 7.1 = −2.1 pp

  4. Dhirendra Nath Mahato, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.

    2011 winner name = 2016 runner-up name
