Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.8% of votes; the other 2 candidates 1.4% between them.

    (3,66,547 + 3,08,863) ÷ 6,97,707 = 96.8% · 9,704 ÷ 6,97,707 = 1.4%

  2. Turnout of 83.0% was 3.9 pp above the state's median seat (79.1%).

    83.0 − 79.1 = +3.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 21.4 pp in 1980 to 8.3 pp.

    8.3 − 21.4 = −13.1 pp

  4. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 1980.
