Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.5% of votes; the other 3 candidates 14.2% between them.

    (7,48,764 + 4,01,919) ÷ 13,61,934 = 84.5% · 1,93,414 ÷ 13,61,934 = 14.2%

  2. Turnout of 85.1% was 2.1 pp above the state's median seat (83.0%).

    85.1 − 83.0 = +2.1

  3. The margin widened from 17.3 pp in 2009 to 25.5 pp.

    25.5 − 17.3 = +8.2 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2009, AITC in 2014.
