Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed HVC polled 5,639 votes, 2.2× the 2,519-vote margin.

    5,639 ÷ 2,519 = 2.2

  2. The top two polled 81.9% of votes; the other 6 candidates 17.9% between them.

    (20,959 + 18,440) ÷ 48,093 = 81.9% · 8,612 ÷ 48,093 = 17.9%

  3. Turnout of 73.1% was 1.8 pp below the state's median seat (74.9%).

    73.1 − 74.9 = −1.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 19.5 pp in 1998 to 5.2 pp.

    5.2 − 19.5 = −14.3 pp

  5. Rangila Ram Rao also won in 1998.

    1998 winner name = 2003 winner name
