Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 69.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 30.7% between them.

    (57,537 + 29,819) ÷ 1,26,005 = 69.3% · 38,649 ÷ 1,26,005 = 30.7%

  2. Turnout of 73.4% was 3.9 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    73.4 − 77.3 = −3.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 50.1 pp in 1996 to 22.0 pp.

    22.0 − 50.1 = −28.1 pp

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

    1996 CPI(M) · 2001 CPI(M)
