Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 35,333 votes, 1.3× the 27,142-vote margin.

    35,333 ÷ 27,142 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 75.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 24.8% between them.

    (73,299 + 46,157) ÷ 1,58,786 = 75.2% · 39,330 ÷ 1,58,786 = 24.8%

  3. Turnout of 78.4% was 0.9 pp above the state's median seat (77.5%).

    78.4 − 77.5 = +0.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 17.2 pp in 2011 to 17.1 pp.

    17.1 − 17.2 = −0.1 pp

  5. V S Achuthanandan also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
