Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 6.4% between them.

    (36,378 + 28,472) ÷ 71,867 = 90.2% · 4,619 ÷ 71,867 = 6.4%

  2. Turnout of 66.5% was 12.2 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    66.5 − 78.7 = −12.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 14.7 pp in 1977 to 11.0 pp.

    11.0 − 14.7 = −3.7 pp

  4. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 1977.
