Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 78.6% of votes; the other 4 candidates 20.2% between them.

    (45,125 + 30,489) ÷ 96,167 = 78.6% · 19,447 ÷ 96,167 = 20.2%

  2. Turnout of 73.3% was 2.9 pp below the state's median seat (76.2%).

    73.3 − 76.2 = −2.9

  3. The margin widened from 5.9 pp in 2000 to 15.2 pp.

    15.2 − 5.9 = +9.3 pp

  4. Alaka Sarma, the 2000 winner, finished second in 2001.

    2000 winner name = 2001 runner-up name
