Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JD polled 23,225 votes, 1.0× the 22,244-vote margin.

    23,225 ÷ 22,244 = 1.0

  2. The top two polled 78.2% of votes; the other 77 candidates 20.7% between them.

    (92,634 + 70,390) ÷ 2,08,531 = 78.2% · 43,210 ÷ 2,08,531 = 20.7%

  3. Turnout of 57.5% was 5.8 pp above the state's median seat (51.7%).

    57.5 − 51.7 = +5.8

  4. The margin widened from 1.2 pp in 1991 to 10.7 pp.

    10.7 − 1.2 = +9.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 1991, INC in 1996.
