Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.8% of votes; the other 7 candidates 12.2% between them.

    (74,429 + 49,867) ÷ 1,41,604 = 87.8% · 17,308 ÷ 1,41,604 = 12.2%

  2. Turnout of 74.9% was 2.6 pp below the state's median seat (77.5%).

    74.9 − 77.5 = −2.6

  3. The margin widened from 15.9 pp in 2011 to 17.3 pp.

    17.3 − 15.9 = +1.4 pp

  4. K.B. Ganesh Kumar also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
