Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.5% of votes; the other 7 candidates 7.8% between them.

    (1,66,905 + 62,640) ÷ 2,50,985 = 91.5% · 19,629 ÷ 2,50,985 = 7.8%

  2. Turnout of 92.8% was 0.6 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    92.8 − 93.4 = −0.6

  3. The margin widened from 29.9 pp in 2021 to 41.5 pp.

    41.5 − 29.9 = +11.6 pp

  4. Anandamay Barman also won in 2021.
