Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.3% of votes; the other 2 candidates 12.7% between them.

    (67,047 + 43,979) ÷ 1,27,182 = 87.3% · 16,156 ÷ 1,27,182 = 12.7%

  2. Turnout of 77.8% was 0.3 pp above the state's median seat (77.5%).

    77.8 − 77.5 = +0.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 22.9 pp in 2011 to 18.1 pp.

    18.1 − 22.9 = −4.8 pp

  4. A.K.Balan also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
