Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 2,55,829 votes, 3.6× the 70,480-vote margin.

    2,55,829 ÷ 70,480 = 3.6

  2. The top two polled 67.4% of votes; the other 12 candidates 31.6% between them.

    (4,19,983 + 3,49,503) ÷ 11,42,395 = 67.4% · 3,61,430 ÷ 11,42,395 = 31.6%

  3. Turnout of 77.7% was 5.3 pp below the state's median seat (83.0%).

    77.7 − 83.0 = −5.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.2 pp in 2009 to 6.2 pp.

    6.2 − 8.2 = −2.0 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2009, BJP in 2014.
