Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.0% of votes; the other 7 candidates 4.0% between them.

    (6,37,664 + 4,64,706) ÷ 11,48,299 = 96.0% · 45,836 ÷ 11,48,299 = 4.0%

  2. Turnout of 90.3% was 7.7 pp above the state's median seat (82.6%).

    90.3 − 82.6 = +7.7

  3. The margin widened from 5.6 pp in 2004 to 15.1 pp.

    15.1 − 5.6 = +9.5 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2004, AITC in 2009.
