Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 38,602 votes, 5.3× the 7,347-vote margin.

    38,602 ÷ 7,347 = 5.3

  2. The top two polled 69.7% of votes; the other 10 candidates 30.3% between them.

    (50,079 + 42,732) ÷ 1,33,137 = 69.7% · 40,326 ÷ 1,33,137 = 30.3%

  3. Turnout of 73.6% was 3.9 pp below the state's median seat (77.5%).

    73.6 − 77.5 = −3.9

  4. The margin widened from 2.0 pp in 2011 to 5.5 pp.

    5.5 − 2.0 = +3.5 pp

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

    2011 INC · 2016 CPI(M)
