Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 82.8% of votes; the other 9 candidates 17.2% between them.

    (61,466 + 41,858) ÷ 1,24,794 = 82.8% · 21,470 ÷ 1,24,794 = 17.2%

  2. Turnout of 72.5% was 13.4 pp below the state's median seat (85.9%).

    72.5 − 85.9 = −13.4

  3. The margin widened from 13.7 pp in 2006 to 15.7 pp.

    15.7 − 13.7 = +2.0 pp

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