Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 8.1% between them.

    (80,674 + 67,407) ÷ 1,61,973 = 91.4% · 13,130 ÷ 1,61,973 = 8.1%

  2. Turnout of 74.5% was 4.9 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    74.5 − 79.4 = −4.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 11.8 pp in 2021 to 8.2 pp.

    8.2 − 11.8 = −3.6 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2021, INC in 2026.
