Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.6% of votes; the other 1 candidate 9.3% between them.

    (53,683 + 40,811) ÷ 1,04,306 = 90.6% · 9,752 ÷ 1,04,306 = 9.3%

  2. Turnout of 73.1% was 4.2 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    73.1 − 77.3 = −4.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 13.8 pp in 1996 to 12.3 pp.

    12.3 − 13.8 = −1.5 pp

  4. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 1996.

    1996 CPI(M) · 2001 CPI(M)
