Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 14,144 votes, 27× the 520-vote margin.

    14,144 ÷ 520 = 27.2

  2. NOTA polled 2,394 votes, 4.6× the winning margin of 520.

    2,394 ÷ 520 = 4.6

  3. The top two polled 90.2% of votes; the other 6 candidates 9.8% between them.

    (95,432 + 94,912) ÷ 2,11,016 = 90.2% · 20,672 ÷ 2,11,016 = 9.8%

  4. Turnout of 87.4% was 3.7 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    87.4 − 83.7 = +3.7

  5. The margin narrowed from 10.9 pp in 2011 to 0.2 pp.

    0.2 − 10.9 = −10.7 pp

  6. The seat changed hands: AITC in 2011, CPI in 2016.
