Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 10.0% between them.

    (87,329 + 50,424) ÷ 1,53,012 = 90.0% · 15,259 ÷ 1,53,012 = 10.0%

  2. Turnout of 83.9% was 6.4 pp above the state's median seat (77.5%).

    83.9 − 77.5 = +6.4

  3. The margin widened from 11.1 pp in 2011 to 24.1 pp.

    24.1 − 11.1 = +13.0 pp

  4. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 2011.
