Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JD(S) polled 28,796 votes, 8.3× the 3,465-vote margin.

    28,796 ÷ 3,465 = 8.3

  2. The top two polled 64.5% of votes; the other 7 candidates 35.9% between them.

    (34,738 + 31,273) ÷ 1,02,419 = 64.5% · 36,815 ÷ 1,02,419 = 35.9%

  3. Turnout of 69.2% was 1.3 pp above the state's median seat (67.9%).

    69.2 − 67.9 = +1.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.3 pp in 1999 to 3.4 pp.

    3.4 − 13.3 = −9.9 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1999.
