Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.3% of votes; the other 2 candidates 4.7% between them.

    (46,365 + 31,649) ÷ 82,711 = 94.3% · 3,888 ÷ 82,711 = 4.7%

  2. Turnout of 67.1% was 3.1 pp below the state's median seat (70.2%).

    67.1 − 70.2 = −3.1

  3. The margin widened from 17.3 pp in 1992 to 17.8 pp.

    17.8 − 17.3 = +0.5 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1992, BJP in 1997.
