Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 81.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 18.2% between them.

    (38,193 + 23,416) ÷ 75,207 = 81.9% · 13,664 ÷ 75,207 = 18.2%

  2. Turnout of 48.8% was 19.1 pp below the state's median seat (67.9%).

    48.8 − 67.9 = −19.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 25.5 pp in 1999 to 19.6 pp.

    19.6 − 25.5 = −5.9 pp

  4. BJP held the seat it won in 1999.
