Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 81.9% of votes; the other 7 candidates 16.6% between them.

    (3,27,929 + 1,73,560) ÷ 6,12,132 = 81.9% · 1,01,913 ÷ 6,12,132 = 16.6%

  2. Turnout of 77.7% was 1.4 pp below the state's median seat (79.1%).

    77.7 − 79.1 = −1.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 72.7 pp in 1991 to 25.2 pp.

    25.2 − 72.7 = −47.5 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1991, CPI(M) in 1996.

    1991 INC · 1996 CPI(M)
