Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 6.7% between them.

    (51,708 + 47,435) ÷ 1,06,304 = 93.3% · 7,087 ÷ 1,06,304 = 6.7%

  2. Turnout of 57.8% was 3.2 pp below the state's median seat (61.0%).

    57.8 − 61.0 = −3.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 29.5 pp in 1996 to 4.0 pp.

    4.0 − 29.5 = −25.5 pp

  4. Kiruttinan Pasumpon Tha, the 1996 winner, finished second in 2001.

    1996 winner name = 2001 runner-up name
