Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.1% of votes; the other 2 candidates 5.9% between them.

    (81,195 + 35,542) ÷ 1,24,104 = 94.1% · 7,362 ÷ 1,24,104 = 5.9%

  2. Turnout of 82.4% was 5.1 pp above the state's median seat (77.3%).

    82.4 − 77.3 = +5.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 38.0 pp in 1996 to 36.8 pp.

    36.8 − 38.0 = −1.2 pp

  4. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 1996.

    1996 CPI(M) · 2001 CPI(M)
