Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 6.2% between them.

    (42,066 + 26,083) ÷ 73,015 = 93.3% · 4,525 ÷ 73,015 = 6.2%

  2. Turnout of 76.2% was 1.8 pp above the state's median seat (74.4%).

    76.2 − 74.4 = +1.8

  3. The margin widened from 20.9 pp in 1980 to 21.9 pp.

    21.9 − 20.9 = +1.0 pp

  4. Oommen Chandy also won in 1980.
