Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.4% of votes; the other 2 candidates 3.8% between them.

    (52,061 + 42,266) ÷ 97,830 = 96.4% · 3,765 ÷ 97,830 = 3.8%

  2. Turnout of 73.5% was 5.6 pp above the state's median seat (67.9%).

    73.5 − 67.9 = +5.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 25.7 pp in 1999 to 10.0 pp.

    10.0 − 25.7 = −15.7 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1999, BJP in 2004.
