Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.7% of votes; the other 7 candidates 12.3% between them.

    (77,458 + 59,814) ÷ 1,56,549 = 87.7% · 19,277 ÷ 1,56,549 = 12.3%

  2. Turnout of 81.5% was 4.4 pp below the state's median seat (85.9%).

    81.5 − 85.9 = −4.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 29.8 pp in 2006 to 11.3 pp.

    11.3 − 29.8 = −18.5 pp

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

    2006 CPI(M) · 2011 INC
