Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 20,780 votes, 1.8× the 11,874-vote margin.

    20,780 ÷ 11,874 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 86.7% of votes; the other 3 candidates 13.3% between them.

    (89,812 + 77,938) ÷ 1,93,576 = 86.7% · 25,826 ÷ 1,93,576 = 13.3%

  3. Turnout of 85.0% was 1.3 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    85.0 − 83.7 = +1.3

  4. The margin widened from 0.1 pp in 2011 to 6.1 pp.

    6.1 − 0.1 = +6.0 pp

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