[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 3,091 votes, 3.7× the 834-vote margin.

    3,091 ÷ 834 = 3.7

  2. The top two polled 92.9% of votes; the other 7 candidates 7.0% between them.

    (37,023 + 36,189) ÷ 78,770 = 92.9% · 5,548 ÷ 78,770 = 7.0%

  3. Turnout of 57.1% was 20.2 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    57.1 − 77.3 = −20.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.0 pp in 1996 to 1.1 pp.

    1.1 − 13.0 = −11.9 pp

  5. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 1996.
