Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 11,598 votes, 38× the 308-vote margin.

    11,598 ÷ 308 = 37.7

  2. The top two polled 64.6% of votes; the other 11 candidates 35.4% between them.

    (24,141 + 23,833) ÷ 74,223 = 64.6% · 26,245 ÷ 74,223 = 35.4%

  3. Turnout of 54.0% was 13.4 pp below the state's median seat (67.4%).

    54.0 − 67.4 = −13.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 27.4 pp in 1997 to 0.4 pp.

    0.4 − 27.4 = −27.0 pp

  5. BJP held the seat it won in 1997.
