Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.9% of votes; the other 4 candidates 7.3% between them.

    (36,765 + 34,083) ÷ 77,125 = 91.9% · 5,667 ÷ 77,125 = 7.3%

  2. Turnout of 63.6% was 3.8 pp below the state's median seat (67.4%).

    63.6 − 67.4 = −3.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 36.8 pp in 1997 to 3.5 pp.

    3.5 − 36.8 = −33.3 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJP in 1997, INC in 2002.
