Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DBSM polled 23,664 votes, 6.5× the 3,655-vote margin.

    23,664 ÷ 3,655 = 6.5

  2. The top two polled 65.0% of votes; the other 5 candidates 35.0% between them.

    (27,574 + 23,919) ÷ 79,245 = 65.0% · 27,750 ÷ 79,245 = 35.0%

  3. Turnout of 69.7% was 2.3 pp above the state's median seat (67.4%).

    69.7 − 67.4 = +2.3

  4. The margin widened from 0.8 pp in 1997 to 4.6 pp.

    4.6 − 0.8 = +3.8 pp

  5. Mohan Lal, the 1997 winner, finished second in 2002.

    1997 winner name = 2002 runner-up name
