[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 3,453 votes, 1.9× the 1,827-vote margin.

    3,453 ÷ 1,827 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 93.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 5.1% between them.

    (43,588 + 41,761) ÷ 91,722 = 93.1% · 4,719 ÷ 91,722 = 5.1%

  3. Turnout of 72.2% was 2.0 pp above the state's median seat (70.2%).

    72.2 − 70.2 = +2.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 3.9 pp in 1992 to 2.0 pp.

    2.0 − 3.9 = −1.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1992, SAD in 1997.

    1992 INC · 1997 SAD
