Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 1,86,124 votes, 3.4× the 55,489-vote margin.

    1,86,124 ÷ 55,489 = 3.4

  2. The top two polled 62.1% of votes; the other 14 candidates 37.9% between them.

    (2,53,891 + 1,98,402) ÷ 7,28,235 = 62.1% · 2,75,942 ÷ 7,28,235 = 37.9%

  3. Turnout of 46.1% matched the state's median seat.

    46.1 − 46.1 = 0.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 21.0 pp in 1999 to 7.6 pp.

    7.6 − 21.0 = −13.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 1999, JKNC in 2002.
