Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 34,816 votes, 2.0× the 17,005-vote margin.

    34,816 ÷ 17,005 = 2.0

  2. The top two polled 94.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 5.4% between them.

    (3,33,297 + 3,16,292) ÷ 6,91,309 = 94.0% · 37,224 ÷ 6,91,309 = 5.4%

  3. Turnout of 71.4% was 0.8 pp above the state's median seat (70.6%).

    71.4 − 70.6 = +0.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.6 pp in 1996 to 2.5 pp.

    2.5 − 9.6 = −7.1 pp

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

    1996 INC · 1998 CPI
