Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 20,504 votes, 2.2× the 9,511-vote margin.

    20,504 ÷ 9,511 = 2.2

  2. The top two polled 68.9% of votes; the other 9 candidates 31.1% between them.

    (49,211 + 39,700) ÷ 1,29,066 = 68.9% · 40,155 ÷ 1,29,066 = 31.1%

  3. Turnout of 81.4% was 3.9 pp above the state's median seat (77.5%).

    81.4 − 77.5 = +3.9

  4. The margin widened from 0.7 pp in 2011 to 7.4 pp.

    7.4 − 0.7 = +6.7 pp

  5. C.K.Nanu also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
