Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.8% of votes; the other 6 candidates 6.5% between them.

    (25,267 + 22,652) ÷ 51,625 = 92.8% · 3,338 ÷ 51,625 = 6.5%

  2. Turnout of 45.6% was 4.4 pp below the state's median seat (50.0%).

    45.6 − 50.0 = −4.4

  3. The margin widened from 4.0 pp in 1993 to 5.1 pp.

    5.1 − 4.0 = +1.1 pp

  4. BJP held the seat it won in 1993.
