Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 76.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 21.2% between them.

    (41,957 + 25,053) ÷ 87,831 = 76.3% · 18,663 ÷ 87,831 = 21.2%

  2. Turnout of 68.9% was 1.3 pp below the state's median seat (70.2%).

    68.9 − 70.2 = −1.3

  3. The margin widened from 9.9 pp in 1992 to 19.2 pp.

    19.2 − 9.9 = +9.3 pp

  4. Gulzar Singh, the 1992 winner, finished second in 1997.

    1992 winner name = 1997 runner-up name
