Notes[edit | edit source]

  1. excluding 12 nominated seats
  2. out of 245 (including 12 nominated seats)
  3. Quota = 140 ÷ (3+1) + 1 = 36 votes. UDF with 102 MLAs could win 2 seats; remaining votes are UDF 30, LDF 35 and NDA 3. Since none reach 36, the result of the 3rd seat depends on the stand of the 3 Other MLAs (BJP-3).
