Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 10.9% between them.

    (20,613 + 17,301) ÷ 42,622 = 89.0% · 4,651 ÷ 42,622 = 10.9%

  2. Turnout of 75.9% was 1.0 pp above the state's median seat (74.9%).

    75.9 − 74.9 = +1.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 9.3 pp in 1998 to 7.8 pp.

    7.8 − 9.3 = −1.5 pp

  4. Mohan Lal, the 1998 winner, finished second in 2003.

    1998 winner name = 2003 runner-up name
