Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 36,874 votes, 3.1× the 11,864-vote margin.

    36,874 ÷ 11,864 = 3.1

  2. The top two polled 77.2% of votes; the other 8 candidates 22.8% between them.

    (71,737 + 59,873) ÷ 1,70,516 = 77.2% · 38,906 ÷ 1,70,516 = 22.8%

  3. Turnout of 75.1% was 1.6 pp above the state's median seat (73.5%).

    75.1 − 73.5 = +1.6

  4. The margin widened from 4.0 pp in 2014 to 7.0 pp.

    7.0 − 4.0 = +3.0 pp

  5. Nityananda Sahoo also won in 2014.

    2014 winner name = 2019 winner name
