Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 2,951 votes, 1.3× the 2,304-vote margin.

    2,951 ÷ 2,304 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 76.6% of votes; the other 3 candidates 23.4% between them.

    (6,273 + 3,969) ÷ 13,378 = 76.6% · 3,128 ÷ 13,378 = 23.4%

  3. Turnout of 61.2% was 11.8 pp below the state's median seat (73.0%).

    61.2 − 73.0 = −11.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 47.2 pp in 1996 to 17.2 pp.

    17.2 − 47.2 = −30.0 pp

  5. A.M.H. Nazeem also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 2001 winner name
