[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 4,402 votes, 4.7× the 934-vote margin.

    4,402 ÷ 934 = 4.7

  2. The top two polled 71.8% of votes; the other 9 candidates 28.2% between them.

    (8,778 + 7,844) ÷ 23,159 = 71.8% · 6,537 ÷ 23,159 = 28.2%

  3. Turnout of 77.7% was 7.2 pp below the state's median seat (84.9%).

    77.7 − 84.9 = −7.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.4 pp in 2016 to 4.0 pp.

    4.0 − 9.4 = −5.4 pp

  5. Vaiyapuri Manikandan, the 2016 winner, finished second in 2021.

    2016 winner name = 2021 runner-up name
