Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 2,186 votes, 1.3× the 1,649-vote margin.

    2,186 ÷ 1,649 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 93.2% of votes; the other 2 candidates 3.9% between them.

    (49,183 + 47,534) ÷ 1,03,745 = 93.2% · 4,054 ÷ 1,03,745 = 3.9%

  3. Turnout of 73.4% matched the state's median seat.

    73.4 − 73.4 = 0.0

  4. The margin widened from 0.4 pp in 1987 to 1.6 pp.

    1.6 − 0.4 = +1.2 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JNP in 1987, ML in 1991.

    1987 JNP · 1991 ML
