Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 18,865 votes, 1.2× the 15,529-vote margin.

    18,865 ÷ 15,529 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 64.1% of votes; the other 8 candidates 35.9% between them.

    (35,729 + 20,200) ÷ 87,227 = 64.1% · 31,279 ÷ 87,227 = 35.9%

  3. Turnout of 66.3% was 1.1 pp below the state's median seat (67.4%).

    66.3 − 67.4 = −1.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 29.5 pp in 1997 to 17.8 pp.

    17.8 − 29.5 = −11.7 pp

  5. Sital Singh also won in 1997.

    1997 winner name = 2002 winner name
