Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 12.7% between them.

    (85,630 + 66,531) ÷ 1,74,336 = 87.3% · 22,175 ÷ 1,74,336 = 12.7%

  2. Turnout of 87.8% was 4.1 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    87.8 − 83.7 = +4.1

  3. The margin widened from 1.7 pp in 2011 to 11.0 pp.

    11.0 − 1.7 = +9.3 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2011, AITC in 2016.
