Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 2.8% between them.

    (3,39,078 + 2,40,079) ÷ 5,95,671 = 97.2% · 16,514 ÷ 5,95,671 = 2.8%

  2. Turnout of 79.1% matched the state's median seat.

    79.1 − 79.1 = 0.0

  3. The margin widened from 10.3 pp in 1984 to 16.6 pp.

    16.6 − 10.3 = +6.3 pp

  4. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 1984.
