[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 44,554 votes, 12× the 3,777-vote margin.

    44,554 ÷ 3,777 = 11.8

  2. The top two polled 79.4% of votes; the other 2 candidates 17.1% between them.

    (1,21,721 + 1,17,944) ÷ 3,01,729 = 79.4% · 51,596 ÷ 3,01,729 = 17.1%

  3. Turnout of 45.8% was 3.6 pp above the state's median seat (42.2%).

    45.8 − 42.2 = +3.6

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
