Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.6% of votes; the other 4 candidates 2.4% between them.

    (59,661 + 52,801) ÷ 1,15,220 = 97.6% · 2,746 ÷ 1,15,220 = 2.4%

  2. Turnout of 81.7% was 9.0 pp above the state's median seat (72.7%).

    81.7 − 72.7 = +9.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 7.6 pp in 1996 to 6.0 pp.

    6.0 − 7.6 = −1.6 pp

  4. A K Antony also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 2001 winner name
