Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.9% of votes; the other 9 candidates 11.1% between them.

    (78,977 + 12,963) ÷ 1,03,362 = 88.9% · 11,422 ÷ 1,03,362 = 11.1%

  2. Turnout of 77.2% was 3.6 pp above the state's median seat (73.6%).

    77.2 − 73.6 = +3.6

  3. The margin widened from 8.0 pp in 2001 to 63.9 pp.

    63.9 − 8.0 = +55.9 pp

  4. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 2001.
