Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BDJS polled 28,201 votes, 1.9× the 14,596-vote margin.

    28,201 ÷ 14,596 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 77.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 22.9% between them.

    (58,749 + 44,153) ÷ 1,33,489 = 77.1% · 30,587 ÷ 1,33,489 = 22.9%

  3. Turnout of 70.4% was 7.1 pp below the state's median seat (77.5%).

    70.4 − 77.5 = −7.1

  4. The margin widened from 5.5 pp in 2011 to 10.9 pp.

    10.9 − 5.5 = +5.4 pp

  5. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 2011.
