Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SADSS polled 15,377 votes, 1.4× the 11,032-vote margin.

    15,377 ÷ 11,032 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 75.5% of votes; the other 2 candidates 23.0% between them.

    (38,532 + 27,500) ÷ 87,511 = 75.5% · 20,093 ÷ 87,511 = 23.0%

  3. Turnout of 71.5% was 1.3 pp above the state's median seat (70.2%).

    71.5 − 70.2 = +1.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.0 pp in 1992 to 12.6 pp.

    12.6 − 18.0 = −5.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 1992, SAD in 1997.
