Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 42,682 votes, 5.3× the 7,983-vote margin.

    42,682 ÷ 7,983 = 5.3

  2. The top two polled 67.4% of votes; the other 4 candidates 32.6% between them.

    (52,880 + 44,897) ÷ 1,45,155 = 67.4% · 47,378 ÷ 1,45,155 = 32.6%

  3. Turnout of 74.3% was 3.2 pp below the state's median seat (77.5%).

    74.3 − 77.5 = −3.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 10.0 pp in 2011 to 5.5 pp.

    5.5 − 10.0 = −4.5 pp

  5. P.C.Vishnunath, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.

    2011 winner name = 2016 runner-up name
