Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 78.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 20.1% between them.

    (6,30,693 + 3,94,581) ÷ 13,04,756 = 78.6% · 2,62,160 ÷ 13,04,756 = 20.1%

  2. Turnout of 84.8% was 1.8 pp above the state's median seat (83.0%).

    84.8 − 83.0 = +1.8

  3. The margin widened from 11.8 pp in 2009 to 18.1 pp.

    18.1 − 11.8 = +6.3 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2009, AITC in 2014.
