Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed NCP polled 13,395 votes, 4.9× the 2,742-vote margin.

    13,395 ÷ 2,742 = 4.9

  2. The top two polled 80.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 19.0% between them.

    (50,648 + 47,906) ÷ 1,22,163 = 80.7% · 23,210 ÷ 1,22,163 = 19.0%

  3. Turnout of 71.0% was 6.3 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    71.0 − 77.3 = −6.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.5 pp in 1996 to 2.2 pp.

    2.2 − 4.5 = −2.3 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1996, CPI(M) in 2001.

    1996 INC · 2001 CPI(M)
