Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 7,911 votes, 4.5× the 1,742-vote margin.

    7,911 ÷ 1,742 = 4.5

  2. The top two polled 85.4% of votes; the other 7 candidates 14.6% between them.

    (50,585 + 48,843) ÷ 1,16,396 = 85.4% · 16,968 ÷ 1,16,396 = 14.6%

  3. Turnout of 63.6% was 3.3 pp below the state's median seat (66.9%).

    63.6 − 66.9 = −3.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 3.4 pp in 2004 to 1.5 pp.

    1.5 − 3.4 = −1.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2004, INC in 2009.
