Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 12.3% between them.

    (13,139 + 9,841) ÷ 26,196 = 87.7% · 3,216 ÷ 26,196 = 12.3%

  2. Turnout of 80.2% was 3.9 pp below the state's median seat (84.1%).

    80.2 − 84.1 = −3.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 15.4 pp in 2011 to 12.6 pp.

    12.6 − 15.4 = −2.8 pp

  4. P.R.N. Thirumurugan also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
