Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,869 votes, 4.0× the 466-vote margin.

    1,869 ÷ 466 = 4.0

  2. The top two polled 90.6% of votes; the other 3 candidates 9.2% between them.

    (11,811 + 11,345) ÷ 25,571 = 90.6% · 2,358 ÷ 25,571 = 9.2%

  3. Turnout of 73.0% was 7.3 pp below the state's median seat (80.3%).

    73.0 − 80.3 = −7.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.7 pp in 1998 to 1.8 pp.

    1.8 − 4.7 = −2.9 pp

  5. Amitabha Datta also won in 1998.

    1998 winner name = 2003 winner name
