Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 85.4% of votes; the other 3 candidates 11.2% between them.

    (34,692 + 26,305) ÷ 71,458 = 85.4% · 8,027 ÷ 71,458 = 11.2%

  2. Turnout of 70.1% was 8.6 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    70.1 − 78.7 = −8.6

  3. The margin widened from 4.2 pp in 1977 to 11.7 pp.

    11.7 − 4.2 = +7.5 pp

  4. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 1977.
