Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 65,534 votes, 95× the 693-vote margin.

    65,534 ÷ 693 = 94.6

  2. NOTA polled 750 votes, 1.1× the winning margin of 693.

    750 ÷ 693 = 1.1

  3. The top two polled 63.9% of votes; the other 13 candidates 35.8% between them.

    (66,986 + 66,293) ÷ 2,08,619 = 63.9% · 74,590 ÷ 2,08,619 = 35.8%

  4. Turnout of 86.7% was 0.1 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    86.7 − 86.6 = +0.1

  5. The margin narrowed from 14.7 pp in 2021 to 0.3 pp.

    0.3 − 14.7 = −14.4 pp
