Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 15,275 votes, 1.3× the 11,505-vote margin.

    15,275 ÷ 11,505 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 91.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 9.0% between them.

    (1,02,886 + 91,381) ÷ 2,13,532 = 91.0% · 19,265 ÷ 2,13,532 = 9.0%

  3. Turnout of 87.3% was 3.6 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    87.3 − 83.7 = +3.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.4 pp in 2011 to 5.4 pp.

    5.4 − 7.4 = −2.0 pp

  5. Aparna Saha, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.

    2011 winner name = 2016 runner-up name
