Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 82.0% of votes; the other 6 candidates 18.2% between them.

    (4,62,605 + 2,80,521) ÷ 9,06,003 = 82.0% · 1,64,459 ÷ 9,06,003 = 18.2%

  2. Turnout of 81.8% was 2.4 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    81.8 − 79.4 = +2.4

  3. The margin widened from 9.5 pp in 1999 to 20.1 pp.

    20.1 − 9.5 = +10.6 pp

  4. CPI held the seat it won in 1999.
