Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 66.5% of votes; the other 26 candidates 32.8% between them.

    (4,48,729 + 2,49,426) ÷ 10,49,783 = 66.5% · 3,44,728 ÷ 10,49,783 = 32.8%

  2. Turnout of 63.7% was 0.2 pp below the state's median seat (63.9%).

    63.7 − 63.9 = −0.2

  3. The margin widened from 1.8 pp in 2009 to 19.0 pp.

    19.0 − 1.8 = +17.2 pp

  4. Subodh Kant Sahay, the 2009 winner, finished second in 2014.

    2009 winner name = 2014 runner-up name
