Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 14,589 votes, 33× the 448-vote margin.

    14,589 ÷ 448 = 32.6

  2. NOTA polled 3,306 votes, 7.4× the winning margin of 448.

    3,306 ÷ 448 = 7.4

  3. The top two polled 92.8% of votes; the other 1 candidate 7.2% between them.

    (94,323 + 93,875) ÷ 2,02,787 = 92.8% · 14,589 ÷ 2,02,787 = 7.2%

  4. Turnout of 86.4% was 2.7 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    86.4 − 83.7 = +2.7

  5. The margin narrowed from 6.3 pp in 2011 to 0.2 pp.

    0.2 − 6.3 = −6.1 pp

  6. Khan Basudeb, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.

    2011 winner name = 2016 runner-up name
