[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 35,366 votes, 13× the 2,631-vote margin.

    35,366 ÷ 2,631 = 13.4

  2. NOTA polled 3,564 votes, 1.4× the winning margin of 2,631.

    3,564 ÷ 2,631 = 1.4

  3. The top two polled 74.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 25.8% between them.

    (62,248 + 59,617) ÷ 1,64,222 = 74.2% · 42,357 ÷ 1,64,222 = 25.8%

  4. Turnout of 80.5% was 7.0 pp above the state's median seat (73.5%).

    80.5 − 73.5 = +7.0

  5. The margin narrowed from 21.2 pp in 2014 to 1.6 pp.

    1.6 − 21.2 = −19.6 pp

  6. Chandra Sekhar Majhi, the 2014 winner, finished second in 2019.

    2014 winner name = 2019 runner-up name
