Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 13,287 votes, 5.5× the 2,417-vote margin.

    13,287 ÷ 2,417 = 5.5

  2. NOTA polled 7,709 votes, 3.2× the winning margin of 2,417.

    7,709 ÷ 2,417 = 3.2

  3. The top two polled 84.5% of votes; the other 8 candidates 15.5% between them.

    (73,648 + 71,231) ÷ 1,71,360 = 84.5% · 26,481 ÷ 1,71,360 = 15.5%

  4. Turnout of 77.7% was 6.0 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    77.7 − 83.7 = −6.0

  5. The margin narrowed from 5.0 pp in 2011 to 1.4 pp.

    1.4 − 5.0 = −3.6 pp

  6. Subhasis Batabyal, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.

    2011 winner name = 2016 runner-up name
