Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 7,508 votes, 3.4× the 2,196-vote margin.

    7,508 ÷ 2,196 = 3.4

  2. The top two polled 90.8% of votes; the other 6 candidates 9.2% between them.

    (50,787 + 48,591) ÷ 1,09,498 = 90.8% · 10,120 ÷ 1,09,498 = 9.2%

  3. Turnout of 67.1% was 8.2 pp below the state's median seat (75.3%).

    67.1 − 75.3 = −8.2

  4. The margin widened from 0.1 pp in 2006 to 2.0 pp.

    2.0 − 0.1 = +1.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI in 2006, INC in 2011.
