Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.7% of votes; the other 8 candidates 11.3% between them.

    (72,959 + 59,876) ÷ 1,49,735 = 88.7% · 16,900 ÷ 1,49,735 = 11.3%

  2. Turnout of 78.5% was 1.0 pp above the state's median seat (77.5%).

    78.5 − 77.5 = +1.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 14.4 pp in 2011 to 8.7 pp.

    8.7 − 14.4 = −5.7 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: SJD in 2011, CPI(M) in 2016.
