Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 2,215 votes, 3.5× the 630-vote margin.

    2,215 ÷ 630 = 3.5

  2. The top two polled 90.7% of votes; the other 1 candidate 9.3% between them.

    (11,133 + 10,503) ÷ 23,851 = 90.7% · 2,215 ÷ 23,851 = 9.3%

  3. Turnout of 85.6% was 3.2 pp below the state's median seat (88.8%).

    85.6 − 88.8 = −3.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 24.3 pp in 2012 to 2.6 pp.

    2.6 − 24.3 = −21.7 pp

  5. Yengkhom Surchandra Singh also won in 2012.

    2012 winner name = 2017 winner name
