Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 6.0% between them.

    (1,03,954 + 63,743) ÷ 1,78,363 = 94.0% · 10,666 ÷ 1,78,363 = 6.0%

  2. Turnout of 84.4% was 1.5 pp below the state's median seat (85.9%).

    84.4 − 85.9 = −1.5

  3. The margin widened from 3.9 pp in 2006 to 22.5 pp.

    22.5 − 3.9 = +18.6 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2006, AITC in 2011.
