Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 22,317 votes, 3.0× the 7,403-vote margin.

    22,317 ÷ 7,403 = 3.0

  2. The top two polled 78.2% of votes; the other 6 candidates 21.8% between them.

    (47,641 + 40,238) ÷ 1,12,347 = 78.2% · 24,468 ÷ 1,12,347 = 21.8%

  3. Turnout of 72.8% was 2.5 pp below the state's median seat (75.3%).

    72.8 − 75.3 = −2.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.8 pp in 2006 to 6.6 pp.

    6.6 − 18.8 = −12.2 pp

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

    2006 CPI(M) · 2011 INC
