Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 6,553 votes, 1.3× the 5,091-vote margin.

    6,553 ÷ 5,091 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 84.3% of votes; the other 9 candidates 15.7% between them.

    (60,361 + 55,270) ÷ 1,37,149 = 84.3% · 21,518 ÷ 1,37,149 = 15.7%

  3. Turnout of 77.7% was 2.1 pp below the state's median seat (79.8%).

    77.7 − 79.8 = −2.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.1 pp in 2006 to 3.7 pp.

    3.7 − 16.1 = −12.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 2006, MMK in 2011.
