Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.3% of votes; the other 11 candidates 8.7% between them.

    (88,357 + 62,356) ÷ 1,64,994 = 91.3% · 14,281 ÷ 1,64,994 = 8.7%

  2. Turnout of 73.7% was 2.8 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).

    73.7 − 76.5 = −2.8

  3. The margin widened from 0.4 pp in 2011 to 15.8 pp.

    15.8 − 0.4 = +15.4 pp

  4. Anitha R Radhakrishnan also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
