Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.6% of votes; the other 3 candidates 8.7% between them.

    (3,56,168 + 2,42,359) ÷ 6,60,851 = 90.6% · 57,496 ÷ 6,60,851 = 8.7%

  2. Turnout of 66.2% was 4.4 pp below the state's median seat (70.6%).

    66.2 − 70.6 = −4.4

  3. The seat changed hands: IND in 1997, KC(M) in 1998.

    1997 IND · 1998 KC(M)
