Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JD(S) polled 2,02,108 votes, 2.0× the 1,01,291-vote margin.

    2,02,108 ÷ 1,01,291 = 2.0

  2. The top two polled 76.0% of votes; the other 12 candidates 23.2% between them.

    (4,67,511 + 3,66,220) ÷ 10,96,499 = 76.0% · 2,53,873 ÷ 10,96,499 = 23.2%

  3. Turnout of 66.0% was 2.9 pp below the state's median seat (68.9%).

    66.0 − 68.9 = −2.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.2 pp in 2009 to 9.2 pp.

    9.2 − 16.2 = −7.0 pp

  5. Janardhana Swamy, the 2009 winner, finished second in 2014.

    2009 winner name = 2014 runner-up name
