[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 22,697 votes, 3.6× the 6,366-vote margin.

    22,697 ÷ 6,366 = 3.6

  2. The top two polled 67.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 25.8% between them.

    (39,940 + 33,574) ÷ 1,09,579 = 67.1% · 28,234 ÷ 1,09,579 = 25.8%

  3. Turnout of 71.4% was 3.0 pp below the state's median seat (74.4%).

    71.4 − 74.4 = −3.0

  4. The margin widened from 0.1 pp in 1992 to 5.8 pp.

    5.8 − 0.1 = +5.7 pp

  5. BJP held the seat it won in 1992.
