Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 7.2% between them.

    (61,303 + 54,576) ÷ 1,24,881 = 92.8% · 8,982 ÷ 1,24,881 = 7.2%

  2. Turnout of 76.4% was 0.9 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    76.4 − 77.3 = −0.9

  3. The margin widened from 4.1 pp in 1996 to 5.4 pp.

    5.4 − 4.1 = +1.3 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 1996, AITC in 2001.
