Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.8% of votes; the other 3 candidates 4.2% between them.

    (79,118 + 74,468) ÷ 1,60,317 = 95.8% · 6,731 ÷ 1,60,317 = 4.2%

  2. Turnout of 89.3% was 3.4 pp above the state's median seat (85.9%).

    89.3 − 85.9 = +3.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 45.7 pp in 2006 to 2.9 pp.

    2.9 − 45.7 = −42.8 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2006, CPI in 2011.
