Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 23,302 votes, 2.6× the 9,131-vote margin.

    23,302 ÷ 9,131 = 2.6

  2. The top two polled 85.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 14.7% between them.

    (84,200 + 75,069) ÷ 1,86,739 = 85.3% · 27,470 ÷ 1,86,739 = 14.7%

  3. Turnout of 80.7% was 3.0 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    80.7 − 83.7 = −3.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.0 pp in 2011 to 4.9 pp.

    4.9 − 5.0 = −0.1 pp

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

    2011 AITC · 2016 CPI(M)
