[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 13,101 votes, 1.0× the 12,732-vote margin.

    13,101 ÷ 12,732 = 1.0

  2. The top two polled 74.1% of votes; the other 4 candidates 23.1% between them.

    (44,204 + 31,472) ÷ 1,02,116 = 74.1% · 23,596 ÷ 1,02,116 = 23.1%

  3. Turnout of 69.1% was 1.1 pp below the state's median seat (70.2%).

    69.1 − 70.2 = −1.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 39.1 pp in 1992 to 12.5 pp.

    12.5 − 39.1 = −26.6 pp

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

    1992 winner name = 1997 runner-up name
