Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 20,037 votes, 1.3× the 15,273-vote margin.

    20,037 ÷ 15,273 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 79.5% of votes; the other 3 candidates 20.5% between them.

    (69,464 + 54,191) ÷ 1,55,520 = 79.5% · 31,865 ÷ 1,55,520 = 20.5%

  3. Turnout of 84.3% was 1.6 pp below the state's median seat (85.9%).

    84.3 − 85.9 = −1.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.4 pp in 2006 to 9.8 pp.

    9.8 − 18.4 = −8.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2006, AITC in 2011.
