Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.7% of votes; the other 1 candidate 4.3% between them.

    (87,050 + 78,484) ÷ 1,72,983 = 95.7% · 7,449 ÷ 1,72,983 = 4.3%

  2. Turnout of 85.4% was 0.5 pp below the state's median seat (85.9%).

    85.4 − 85.9 = −0.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 31.2 pp in 2006 to 5.0 pp.

    5.0 − 31.2 = −26.2 pp

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