Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 22,005 votes, 3.4× the 6,566-vote margin.

    22,005 ÷ 6,566 = 3.4

  2. The top two polled 59.9% of votes; the other 10 candidates 40.1% between them.

    (38,845 + 32,279) ÷ 1,18,804 = 59.9% · 47,680 ÷ 1,18,804 = 40.1%

  3. Turnout of 76.0% was 7.9 pp below the state's median seat (83.9%).

    76.0 − 83.9 = −7.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 6.7 pp in 2011 to 5.5 pp.

    5.5 − 6.7 = −1.2 pp

  5. Bolin Chetia also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
