Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 33,873 votes, 1.7× the 19,766-vote margin.

    33,873 ÷ 19,766 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 69.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 30.8% between them.

    (54,605 + 34,839) ÷ 1,29,271 = 69.2% · 39,764 ÷ 1,29,271 = 30.8%

  3. Turnout of 83.0% was 5.7 pp above the state's median seat (77.3%).

    83.0 − 77.3 = +5.7

  4. The margin widened from 0.4 pp in 1996 to 15.3 pp.

    15.3 − 0.4 = +14.9 pp

  5. Srikumar Mukherjee also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 2001 winner name
