Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.9% of votes; the other 2 candidates 1.2% between them.

    (68,178 + 33,611) ÷ 1,05,079 = 96.9% · 1,269 ÷ 1,05,079 = 1.2%

  2. Turnout of 74.3% was 4.4 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    74.3 − 78.7 = −4.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 34.6 pp in 1981 to 32.9 pp.

    32.9 − 34.6 = −1.7 pp

  4. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 1981.
