[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 9,882 votes, 2.0× the 5,033-vote margin.

    9,882 ÷ 5,033 = 2.0

  2. The top two polled 67.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 32.6% between them.

    (18,836 + 13,803) ÷ 48,434 = 67.4% · 15,780 ÷ 48,434 = 32.6%

  3. Turnout of 71.9% was 3.0 pp below the state's median seat (74.9%).

    71.9 − 74.9 = −3.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 17.3 pp in 1998 to 10.4 pp.

    10.4 − 17.3 = −6.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 1998, INC in 2003.
