Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed PMK polled 31,675 votes, 14× the 2,278-vote margin.

    31,675 ÷ 2,278 = 13.9

  2. The top two polled 72.5% of votes; the other 5 candidates 27.1% between them.

    (56,108 + 53,830) ÷ 1,51,637 = 72.5% · 41,154 ÷ 1,51,637 = 27.1%

  3. Turnout of 88.6% was 2.0 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    88.6 − 86.6 = +2.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 12.0 pp in 2021 to 1.5 pp.

    1.5 − 12.0 = −10.5 pp

  5. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 2021.
