Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 14.0% between them.

    (1,03,376 + 64,765) ÷ 1,95,564 = 86.0% · 27,423 ÷ 1,95,564 = 14.0%

  2. Turnout of 86.1% was 2.4 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    86.1 − 83.7 = +2.4

  3. The margin widened from 2.6 pp in 2011 to 19.7 pp.

    19.7 − 2.6 = +17.1 pp

  4. Dhiren Bagdi, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.

    2011 winner name = 2016 runner-up name
