Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 22,410 votes, 7.9× the 2,828-vote margin.

    22,410 ÷ 2,828 = 7.9

  2. The top two polled 86.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 14.0% between them.

    (84,549 + 81,721) ÷ 1,93,386 = 86.0% · 27,116 ÷ 1,93,386 = 14.0%

  3. Turnout of 86.4% was 2.7 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    86.4 − 83.7 = +2.7

  4. The margin widened from 1.3 pp in 2011 to 1.5 pp.

    1.5 − 1.3 = +0.2 pp

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

    2011 AITC · 2016 CPI(M)
