Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 65.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 31.5% between them.

    (1,84,241 + 79,377) ÷ 4,05,655 = 65.0% · 1,27,708 ÷ 4,05,655 = 31.5%

  2. Turnout of 75.8% was 11.9 pp above the state's median seat (63.9%).

    75.8 − 63.9 = +11.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 28.9 pp in 1996 to 25.9 pp.

    25.9 − 28.9 = −3.0 pp

  4. ASDC held the seat it won in 1996.
