Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 16,108 votes, 201× the 80-vote margin.

    16,108 ÷ 80 = 201.4

  2. The top two polled 78.9% of votes; the other 2 candidates 21.1% between them.

    (32,442 + 32,362) ÷ 82,172 = 78.9% · 17,354 ÷ 82,172 = 21.1%

  3. Turnout of 71.5% was 4.1 pp above the state's median seat (67.4%).

    71.5 − 67.4 = +4.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.3 pp in 1997 to 0.1 pp.

    0.1 − 5.3 = −5.2 pp

  5. Sucha Singh Langah, the 1997 winner, finished second in 2002.

    1997 winner name = 2002 runner-up name
