Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 2,09,480 votes, 1.3× the 1,64,111-vote margin.

    2,09,480 ÷ 1,64,111 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 54.6% of votes; the other 15 candidates 44.6% between them.

    (3,80,291 + 2,16,180) ÷ 10,92,407 = 54.6% · 4,87,544 ÷ 10,92,407 = 44.6%

  3. Turnout of 81.1% was 1.9 pp below the state's median seat (83.0%).

    81.1 − 83.0 = −1.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.4 pp in 2009 to 15.0 pp.

    15.0 − 16.4 = −1.4 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 2009.
