Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 4.3% between them.

    (91,487 + 66,040) ÷ 1,64,598 = 95.7% · 7,071 ÷ 1,64,598 = 4.3%

  2. Turnout of 88.4% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (85.9%).

    88.4 − 85.9 = +2.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 22.4 pp in 2006 to 15.5 pp.

    15.5 − 22.4 = −6.9 pp

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