[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 6,784 votes, 1.8× the 3,837-vote margin.

    6,784 ÷ 3,837 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 92.4% of votes; the other 13 candidates 7.6% between them.

    (77,946 + 74,109) ÷ 1,64,601 = 92.4% · 12,546 ÷ 1,64,601 = 7.6%

  3. Turnout of 81.8% was 5.3 pp above the state's median seat (76.5%).

    81.8 − 76.5 = +5.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.9 pp in 2011 to 2.3 pp.

    2.3 − 4.9 = −2.6 pp

  5. Soundarapandian A also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
