Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 7.9% between them.

    (22,181 + 17,063) ÷ 42,642 = 92.0% · 3,379 ÷ 42,642 = 7.9%

  2. Turnout of 75.5% was 0.6 pp above the state's median seat (74.9%).

    75.5 − 74.9 = +0.6

  3. The margin widened from 9.8 pp in 1998 to 12.0 pp.

    12.0 − 9.8 = +2.2 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJP in 1998, INC in 2003.
