[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 14,330 votes, 4.2× the 3,448-vote margin.

    14,330 ÷ 3,448 = 4.2

  2. The top two polled 66.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 27.8% between them.

    (24,002 + 20,554) ÷ 67,420 = 66.1% · 18,721 ÷ 67,420 = 27.8%

  3. Turnout of 74.6% was 5.1 pp below the state's median seat (79.7%).

    74.6 − 79.7 = −5.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.9 pp in 1983 to 5.1 pp.

    5.1 − 8.9 = −3.8 pp

  5. Abdul Muqtadir Choudhury also won in 1983.
