Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 76.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 22.2% between them.

    (50,176 + 23,553) ÷ 96,996 = 76.0% · 21,531 ÷ 96,996 = 22.2%

  2. Turnout of 65.9% was 4.3 pp below the state's median seat (70.2%).

    65.9 − 70.2 = −4.3

  3. The margin widened from 1.7 pp in 1992 to 27.4 pp.

    27.4 − 1.7 = +25.7 pp

  4. Joginder Singh Mann, the 1992 winner, finished second in 1997.

    1992 winner name = 1997 runner-up name
