Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIUDF polled 34,207 votes, 73× the 468-vote margin.

    34,207 ÷ 468 = 73.1

  2. NOTA polled 674 votes, 1.4× the winning margin of 468.

    674 ÷ 468 = 1.4

  3. The top two polled 69.3% of votes; the other 13 candidates 30.7% between them.

    (45,289 + 44,821) ÷ 1,30,107 = 69.3% · 39,997 ÷ 1,30,107 = 30.7%

  4. Turnout of 75.9% was 8.0 pp below the state's median seat (83.9%).

    75.9 − 83.9 = −8.0

  5. The margin narrowed from 16.4 pp in 2011 to 0.4 pp.

    0.4 − 16.4 = −16.0 pp

  6. Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha also won in 2011.
