Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 7,224 votes, 57× the 126-vote margin.

    7,224 ÷ 126 = 57.3

  2. The top two polled 92.4% of votes; the other 3 candidates 7.6% between them.

    (81,316 + 81,190) ÷ 1,75,927 = 92.4% · 13,421 ÷ 1,75,927 = 7.6%

  3. Turnout of 86.8% was 0.9 pp above the state's median seat (85.9%).

    86.8 − 85.9 = +0.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 45.0 pp in 2006 to 0.1 pp.

    0.1 − 45.0 = −44.9 pp

  5. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 2006.

    2006 CPI(M) · 2011 CPI(M)
