[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIADMK polled 3,207 votes, 1.1× the 2,931-vote margin.

    3,207 ÷ 2,931 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 73.2% of votes; the other 2 candidates 26.7% between them.

    (6,672 + 3,741) ÷ 14,219 = 73.2% · 3,796 ÷ 14,219 = 26.7%

  3. Turnout of 71.5% was 1.5 pp below the state's median seat (73.0%).

    71.5 − 73.0 = −1.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 21.9 pp in 1996 to 20.6 pp.

    20.6 − 21.9 = −1.3 pp

  5. V.M.C. Sivakumar also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 2001 winner name
