Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 9.1% between them.

    (77,292 + 45,972) ÷ 1,35,571 = 90.9% · 12,307 ÷ 1,35,571 = 9.1%

  2. Turnout of 85.2% was 1.3 pp above the state's median seat (83.9%).

    85.2 − 83.9 = +1.3

  3. The margin widened from 11.0 pp in 2011 to 23.1 pp.

    23.1 − 11.0 = +12.1 pp

  4. Phani Bhusan Choudhury also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
