Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 12.3% between them.

    (6,73,091 + 2,01,740) ÷ 9,94,003 = 88.0% · 1,22,193 ÷ 9,94,003 = 12.3%

  2. Turnout of 81.4% was 2.0 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    81.4 − 79.4 = +2.0

  3. The margin widened from 30.6 pp in 1999 to 47.4 pp.

    47.4 − 30.6 = +16.8 pp

  4. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 1999.
