[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 32,056 votes, 43× the 740-vote margin.

    32,056 ÷ 740 = 43.3

  2. The top two polled 65.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 34.7% between them.

    (37,571 + 36,831) ÷ 1,13,942 = 65.3% · 39,498 ÷ 1,13,942 = 34.7%

  3. Turnout of 66.8% was 5.8 pp above the state's median seat (61.0%).

    66.8 − 61.0 = +5.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.7 pp in 1996 to 0.6 pp.

    0.6 − 5.7 = −5.1 pp

  5. Saminathan.M.P. also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 2001 winner name
