Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AITC polled 23,927 votes, 2.3× the 10,611-vote margin.

    23,927 ÷ 10,611 = 2.3

  2. The top two polled 75.9% of votes; the other 8 candidates 24.1% between them.

    (62,060 + 51,449) ÷ 1,49,606 = 75.9% · 36,097 ÷ 1,49,606 = 24.1%

  3. Turnout of 78.8% was 7.1 pp below the state's median seat (85.9%).

    78.8 − 85.9 = −7.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 23.2 pp in 2006 to 7.1 pp.

    7.1 − 23.2 = −16.1 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2006, AIFB in 2011.
