Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.3% of votes; the other 2 candidates 5.7% between them.

    (3,20,338 + 2,40,903) ÷ 5,95,296 = 94.3% · 34,073 ÷ 5,95,296 = 5.7%

  2. Turnout of 47.1% was 0.4 pp above the state's median seat (46.7%).

    47.1 − 46.7 = +0.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 24.5 pp in 1999 to 13.3 pp.

    13.3 − 24.5 = −11.2 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1999.
