Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed CPI(M) polled 13,690 votes, 1.0× the 13,166-vote margin.
13,690 ÷ 13,166 = 1.0
The top two polled 84.9% of votes; the other 17 candidates 15.1% between them.
(78,555 + 65,389) ÷ 1,69,487 = 84.9% · 25,543 ÷ 1,69,487 = 15.1%
Turnout of 72.5% was 4.0 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).
72.5 − 76.5 = −4.0
The margin narrowed from 16.9 pp in 2011 to 7.8 pp.
7.8 − 16.9 = −9.1 pp
