[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.5% of votes; the other 6 candidates 5.4% between them.

    (59,626 + 54,117) ÷ 1,20,318 = 94.5% · 6,548 ÷ 1,20,318 = 5.4%

  2. Turnout of 67.8% was 9.5 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    67.8 − 77.3 = −9.5

  3. The margin widened from 0.4 pp in 1996 to 4.6 pp.

    4.6 − 0.4 = +4.2 pp

  4. Paresh Paul also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 2001 winner name
