Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 85.8% of votes; the other 6 candidates 14.2% between them.

    (62,128 + 48,749) ÷ 1,29,270 = 85.8% · 18,393 ÷ 1,29,270 = 14.2%

  2. Turnout of 72.6% was 3.9 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    72.6 − 76.5 = −3.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 24.0 pp in 2011 to 10.3 pp.

    10.3 − 24.0 = −13.7 pp

  4. Thiravidamani M. also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
