Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AIICT polled 35,981 votes, 3.9× the 9,198-vote margin.

    35,981 ÷ 9,198 = 3.9

  2. The top two polled 83.0% of votes; the other 14 candidates 17.0% between them.

    (2,61,080 + 2,51,882) ÷ 6,17,955 = 83.0% · 1,04,993 ÷ 6,17,955 = 17.0%

  3. Turnout of 66.9% was 13.8 pp above the state's median seat (53.1%).

    66.9 − 53.1 = +13.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.3 pp in 1991 to 1.5 pp.

    1.5 − 15.3 = −13.8 pp
