Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.5% of votes; the other 13 candidates 8.5% between them.

    (1,08,400 + 93,991) ÷ 2,21,279 = 91.5% · 18,888 ÷ 2,21,279 = 8.5%

  2. Turnout of 78.7% was 2.2 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    78.7 − 76.5 = +2.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 44.0 pp in 2015 to 6.5 pp.

    6.5 − 44.0 = −37.5 pp

  4. Valarmathi.S also won in 2015.
