Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 9.7% between them.

    (86,039 + 70,181) ÷ 1,73,036 = 90.3% · 16,816 ÷ 1,73,036 = 9.7%

  2. Turnout of 90.5% was 4.6 pp above the state's median seat (85.9%).

    90.5 − 85.9 = +4.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 27.1 pp in 2006 to 9.2 pp.

    9.2 − 27.1 = −17.9 pp

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