[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 23,261 votes, 3.4× the 6,902-vote margin.

    23,261 ÷ 6,902 = 3.4

  2. The top two polled 75.4% of votes; the other 5 candidates 24.6% between them.

    (47,466 + 40,564) ÷ 1,16,797 = 75.4% · 28,756 ÷ 1,16,797 = 24.6%

  3. Turnout of 55.6% was 5.2 pp below the state's median seat (60.8%).

    55.6 − 60.8 = −5.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.3 pp in 2002 to 5.9 pp.

    5.9 − 15.3 = −9.4 pp

  5. BJP held the seat it won in 2002.
