Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 22,542 votes, 2.6× the 8,608-vote margin.

    22,542 ÷ 8,608 = 2.6

  2. The top two polled 49.6% of votes; the other 4 candidates 48.9% between them.

    (31,704 + 23,096) ÷ 1,10,411 = 49.6% · 54,020 ÷ 1,10,411 = 48.9%

  3. Turnout of 77.9% was 7.7 pp above the state's median seat (70.2%).

    77.9 − 70.2 = +7.7

  4. The margin widened from 0.5 pp in 1992 to 7.8 pp.

    7.8 − 0.5 = +7.3 pp

  5. Sajwar Singh, the 1992 winner, finished second in 1997.

    1992 winner name = 1997 runner-up name
