Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 20,410 votes, 1.4× the 14,511-vote margin.

    20,410 ÷ 14,511 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 95.6% of votes; the other 2 candidates 4.4% between them.

    (3,39,643 + 3,25,132) ÷ 6,95,357 = 95.6% · 30,632 ÷ 6,95,357 = 4.4%

  3. Turnout of 56.3% was 9.6 pp above the state's median seat (46.7%).

    56.3 − 46.7 = +9.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 11.6 pp in 2002 to 2.1 pp.

    2.1 − 11.6 = −9.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2002, INC in 2004.
