Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 2.8% between them.

    (23,851 + 12,921) ÷ 37,827 = 97.2% · 1,048 ÷ 37,827 = 2.8%

  2. Turnout of 74.8% was 0.1 pp below the state's median seat (74.9%).

    74.8 − 74.9 = −0.1

  3. The margin widened from 0.4 pp in 1998 to 28.9 pp.

    28.9 − 0.4 = +28.5 pp

  4. Bipan Singh Parmar, the 1998 winner, finished second in 2003.

    1998 winner name = 2003 runner-up name
