  1. CPI(M) converted 38.6% of votes into 61.9% of seats, a seat premium of 23.3 pp.

  2. AITC polled 21.0% of votes, the 2nd-highest share, but won 1 seat (2.4%).

    1 ÷ 42 = 2.4% · 2.4 − 21.0 = −18.6

  3. Nabadwip was decided by 9,991 votes, the closest of 42 seats; Arambagh had the widest margin, 5,92,502.

    min / max of margin over 42 seats with a recorded margin
