Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 23,096 votes, 3.1× the 7,408-vote margin.

    23,096 ÷ 7,408 = 3.1

  2. The top two polled 81.6% of votes; the other 11 candidates 18.4% between them.

    (66,316 + 58,908) ÷ 1,53,525 = 81.6% · 28,301 ÷ 1,53,525 = 18.4%

  3. Turnout of 80.7% was 3.2 pp above the state's median seat (77.5%).

    80.7 − 77.5 = +3.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 6.5 pp in 2011 to 4.8 pp.

    4.8 − 6.5 = −1.7 pp

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