Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 11.7% between them.

    (4,10,740 + 1,80,799) ÷ 6,69,740 = 88.3% · 78,201 ÷ 6,69,740 = 11.7%

  2. Turnout of 59.9% matched the state's median seat.

    59.9 − 59.9 = 0.0

  3. The margin widened from 17.2 pp in 2004 to 34.3 pp.

    34.3 − 17.2 = +17.1 pp

  4. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 2004.
