Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 12,413 votes, 7.9× the 1,577-vote margin.

    12,413 ÷ 1,577 = 7.9

  2. The top two polled 88.4% of votes; the other 7 candidates 11.6% between them.

    (69,517 + 67,940) ÷ 1,55,577 = 88.4% · 18,120 ÷ 1,55,577 = 11.6%

  3. Turnout of 76.5% was 3.0 pp above the state's median seat (73.5%).

    76.5 − 73.5 = +3.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.8 pp in 2014 to 1.0 pp.

    1.0 − 9.8 = −8.8 pp

  5. Sukanta Kumar Nayak also won in 2014.

    2014 winner name = 2019 winner name
