Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.9% of votes; the other 8 candidates 6.0% between them.

    (43,041 + 23,671) ÷ 71,826 = 92.9% · 4,321 ÷ 71,826 = 6.0%

  2. Turnout of 58.4% was 11.8 pp below the state's median seat (70.2%).

    58.4 − 70.2 = −11.8

  3. The margin widened from 21.8 pp in 1992 to 27.0 pp.

    27.0 − 21.8 = +5.2 pp

  4. Jai Kishan Saini, the 1992 winner, finished second in 1997.

    1992 winner name = 1997 runner-up name
