Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.5% of votes; the other 9 candidates 12.5% between them.

    (65,487 + 53,312) ÷ 1,35,802 = 87.5% · 17,003 ÷ 1,35,802 = 12.5%

  2. Turnout of 85.8% was 1.9 pp above the state's median seat (83.9%).

    85.8 − 83.9 = +1.9

  3. The margin widened from 7.7 pp in 2011 to 9.0 pp.

    9.0 − 7.7 = +1.3 pp

  4. Binanda Kumar Saikia also won in 2011.
