Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 1,54,273 votes, 9.4× the 16,485-vote margin.

    1,54,273 ÷ 16,485 = 9.4

  2. The top two polled 77.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 22.7% between them.

    (2,85,029 + 2,68,544) ÷ 7,16,489 = 77.3% · 1,62,916 ÷ 7,16,489 = 22.7%

  3. Turnout of 65.0% was 1.0 pp above the state's median seat (64.0%).

    65.0 − 64.0 = +1.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.0 pp in 1996 to 2.3 pp.

    2.3 − 9.0 = −6.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI in 1996, INC in 1998.
