Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 5,757 votes, 1.3× the 4,320-vote margin.

    5,757 ÷ 4,320 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 93.2% of votes; the other 1 candidate 6.8% between them.

    (41,683 + 37,363) ÷ 84,805 = 93.2% · 5,757 ÷ 84,805 = 6.8%

  3. Turnout of 71.0% was 3.6 pp above the state's median seat (67.4%).

    71.0 − 67.4 = +3.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 26.6 pp in 1997 to 5.1 pp.

    5.1 − 26.6 = −21.5 pp

  5. Gurtej Singh, the 1997 winner, finished second in 2002.

    1997 winner name = 2002 runner-up name
