Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.7% of votes; the other 3 candidates 15.3% between them.

    (84,030 + 40,649) ÷ 1,47,257 = 84.7% · 22,578 ÷ 1,47,257 = 15.3%

  2. Turnout of 82.8% was 5.3 pp above the state's median seat (77.5%).

    82.8 − 77.5 = +5.3

  3. The margin widened from 23.0 pp in 2011 to 29.5 pp.

    29.5 − 23.0 = +6.5 pp

  4. E. P. Jayarajan also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
