Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 85.4% of votes; the other 9 candidates 14.6% between them.

    (9,445 + 7,220) ÷ 19,510 = 85.4% · 2,845 ÷ 19,510 = 14.6%

  2. Turnout of 75.9% was 8.2 pp below the state's median seat (84.1%).

    75.9 − 84.1 = −8.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 37.0 pp in 2011 to 11.4 pp.

    11.4 − 37.0 = −25.6 pp

  4. K. Lakshminarayanan also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
