Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 97,247 votes, 26× the 3,674-vote margin.

    97,247 ÷ 3,674 = 26.5

  2. The top two polled 80.8% of votes; the other 5 candidates 18.0% between them.

    (2,48,824 + 2,45,150) ÷ 6,11,061 = 80.8% · 1,10,156 ÷ 6,11,061 = 18.0%

  3. Turnout of 54.6% was 2.3 pp below the state's median seat (56.9%).

    54.6 − 56.9 = −2.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.5 pp in 1998 to 0.6 pp.

    0.6 − 5.5 = −4.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJD in 1998, INC in 1999.
