Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SHS polled 2,08,459 votes, 23× the 9,126-vote margin.

    2,08,459 ÷ 9,126 = 22.8

  2. The top two polled 67.6% of votes; the other 7 candidates 30.3% between them.

    (2,48,353 + 2,39,227) ÷ 7,21,677 = 67.6% · 2,18,738 ÷ 7,21,677 = 30.3%

  3. Turnout of 64.4% was 4.8 pp above the state's median seat (59.6%).

    64.4 − 59.6 = +4.8

  4. The margin widened from 0.6 pp in 1996 to 1.3 pp.

    1.3 − 0.6 = +0.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1996, PWPI in 1998.
