Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 10.3% between them.

    (1,01,939 + 77,059) ÷ 1,99,663 = 89.7% · 20,665 ÷ 1,99,663 = 10.3%

  2. Turnout of 82.0% was 1.7 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    82.0 − 83.7 = −1.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 16.0 pp in 2011 to 12.5 pp.

    12.5 − 16.0 = −3.5 pp

  4. Firdousi Begum also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
