Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 38,649 votes, 1.1× the 34,566-vote margin.

    38,649 ÷ 34,566 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 88.0% of votes; the other 9 candidates 11.1% between them.

    (2,67,209 + 2,32,643) ÷ 5,68,257 = 88.0% · 63,037 ÷ 5,68,257 = 11.1%

  3. Turnout of 49.8% was 4.4 pp below the state's median seat (54.2%).

    49.8 − 54.2 = −4.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 20.1 pp in 1998 to 6.1 pp.

    6.1 − 20.1 = −14.0 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JD in 1998, INC in 1999.
