Data-driven analysis of the 1989 Rajasthan Lok Sabha election results, covering competitiveness, candidate performance, and voter behaviour.

The 10 parliamentary constituencies decided by the narrowest margins.

Candidates receiving less than one-sixth (16.67%) of valid votes forfeit their security deposit. A high forfeiture rate indicates a party fielded candidates in constituencies with little voter support.
NOTA (None of the Above) allows voters to reject all candidates. When NOTA votes exceed the victory margin, it signals significant voter dissatisfaction.
