Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 9.6% between them.

    (88,913 + 55,740) ÷ 1,59,990 = 90.4% · 15,337 ÷ 1,59,990 = 9.6%

  2. Turnout of 78.8% was 4.9 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    78.8 − 83.7 = −4.9

  3. The margin widened from 6.0 pp in 2011 to 20.7 pp.

    20.7 − 6.0 = +14.7 pp

  4. Ashis Marjit also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
