Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 23,201 votes, 1.8× the 13,188-vote margin.

    23,201 ÷ 13,188 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 76.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 23.7% between them.

    (47,494 + 34,306) ÷ 1,07,219 = 76.3% · 25,394 ÷ 1,07,219 = 23.7%

  3. Turnout of 69.4% was 3.3 pp below the state's median seat (72.7%).

    69.4 − 72.7 = −3.3

  4. The margin widened from 2.4 pp in 1996 to 12.3 pp.

    12.3 − 2.4 = +9.9 pp

  5. Cherkalam Abdullah also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 2001 winner name
