Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 83.4% of votes; the other 4 candidates 16.6% between them.

    (71,206 + 35,146) ÷ 1,27,563 = 83.4% · 21,211 ÷ 1,27,563 = 16.6%

  2. Turnout of 77.4% was 0.1 pp below the state's median seat (77.5%).

    77.4 − 77.5 = −0.1

  3. The margin widened from 21.3 pp in 2011 to 28.3 pp.

    28.3 − 21.3 = +7.0 pp

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