Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 13,573 votes, 6.3× the 2,166-vote margin.

    13,573 ÷ 2,166 = 6.3

  2. The top two polled 67.8% of votes; the other 2 candidates 28.1% between them.

    (24,616 + 22,450) ÷ 69,415 = 67.8% · 19,475 ÷ 69,415 = 28.1%

  3. Turnout of 75.4% was 7.6 pp above the state's median seat (67.8%).

    75.4 − 67.8 = +7.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 6.8 pp in 1980 to 3.1 pp.

    3.1 − 6.8 = −3.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 1980, SAD in 1985.
