Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 3,239 votes, 2.8× the 1,154-vote margin.

    3,239 ÷ 1,154 = 2.8

  2. The top two polled 92.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 6.0% between them.

    (37,733 + 36,579) ÷ 80,618 = 92.2% · 4,838 ÷ 80,618 = 6.0%

  3. Turnout of 74.1% was 3.9 pp above the state's median seat (70.2%).

    74.1 − 70.2 = +3.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 70.8 pp in 1992 to 1.4 pp.

    1.4 − 70.8 = −69.4 pp

  5. Gurchet Singh, the 1992 winner, finished second in 1997.

    1992 winner name = 1997 runner-up name
