Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 71.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 25.0% between them.

    (3,74,625 + 1,80,987) ÷ 7,73,082 = 71.9% · 1,93,030 ÷ 7,73,082 = 25.0%

  2. Turnout of 73.7% was 9.8 pp above the state's median seat (63.9%).

    73.7 − 63.9 = +9.8

  3. The margin widened from 16.3 pp in 1996 to 25.0 pp.

    25.0 − 16.3 = +8.7 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1996.
