Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 5.2% between them.

    (55,830 + 49,198) ÷ 1,10,883 = 94.7% · 5,816 ÷ 1,10,883 = 5.2%

  2. Turnout of 67.3% was 6.3 pp above the state's median seat (61.0%).

    67.3 − 61.0 = +6.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 34.4 pp in 1996 to 6.0 pp.

    6.0 − 34.4 = −28.4 pp

  4. TMC(M) held the seat it won in 1996.
