Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JD polled 1,51,161 votes, 2.9× the 52,822-vote margin.

    1,51,161 ÷ 52,822 = 2.9

  2. The top two polled 71.8% of votes; the other 7 candidates 25.8% between them.

    (2,61,623 + 2,08,801) ÷ 6,55,370 = 71.8% · 1,68,993 ÷ 6,55,370 = 25.8%

  3. Turnout of 57.8% was 9.4 pp below the state's median seat (67.2%).

    57.8 − 67.2 = −9.4

  4. The margin widened from 5.9 pp in 1996 to 8.1 pp.

    8.1 − 5.9 = +2.2 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JD in 1996, INC in 1998.
