Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 6,180 votes, 4.3× the 1,433-vote margin.

    6,180 ÷ 1,433 = 4.3

  2. The top two polled 94.0% of votes; the other 2 candidates 6.0% between them.

    (83,355 + 81,922) ÷ 1,75,846 = 94.0% · 10,569 ÷ 1,75,846 = 6.0%

  3. Turnout of 92.5% was 6.6 pp above the state's median seat (85.9%).

    92.5 − 85.9 = +6.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 25.7 pp in 2006 to 0.8 pp.

    0.8 − 25.7 = −24.9 pp

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

    2006 CPI(M) · 2011 INC
