Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.3% of votes; the other 8 candidates 7.5% between them.

    (64,115 + 60,025) ÷ 1,34,433 = 92.3% · 10,141 ÷ 1,34,433 = 7.5%

  2. Turnout of 60.2% was 0.8 pp below the state's median seat (61.0%).

    60.2 − 61.0 = −0.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 40.4 pp in 1996 to 3.0 pp.

    3.0 − 40.4 = −37.4 pp

  4. Pitchandi.K. also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 2001 winner name
