Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 7,027 votes, 7.8× the 900-vote margin.

    7,027 ÷ 900 = 7.8

  2. NOTA polled 1,582 votes, 1.8× the winning margin of 900.

    1,582 ÷ 900 = 1.8

  3. The top two polled 93.2% of votes; the other 6 candidates 6.1% between them.

    (1,08,733 + 1,07,833) ÷ 2,32,394 = 93.2% · 14,246 ÷ 2,32,394 = 6.1%

  4. Turnout of 94.1% was 0.7 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    94.1 − 93.4 = +0.7

  5. The margin narrowed from 3.4 pp in 2021 to 0.4 pp.

    0.4 − 3.4 = −3.0 pp

  6. Nirmal Kumar Dhara also won in 2021.

    2021 winner name = 2026 winner name
