Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.9% of votes; the other 4 candidates 10.1% between them.

    (68,685 + 45,132) ÷ 1,26,639 = 89.9% · 12,775 ÷ 1,26,639 = 10.1%

  2. Turnout of 80.7% was 8.0 pp above the state's median seat (72.7%).

    80.7 − 72.7 = +8.0

  3. The margin widened from 1.1 pp in 1996 to 18.6 pp.

    18.6 − 1.1 = +17.5 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 1996, INC in 2001.

    1996 CPI(M) · 2001 INC
