Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.5% of votes; the other 3 candidates 11.0% between them.

    (85,614 + 66,367) ÷ 1,71,659 = 88.5% · 18,865 ÷ 1,71,659 = 11.0%

  2. Turnout of 82.9% was 3.5 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    82.9 − 79.4 = +3.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 31.4 pp in 2021 to 11.2 pp.

    11.2 − 31.4 = −20.2 pp

  4. Pinarayi Vijayan also won in 2021.
