Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,782 votes, 3.5× the 508-vote margin.

    1,782 ÷ 508 = 3.5

  2. The top two polled 93.2% of votes; the other 2 candidates 3.7% between them.

    (44,795 + 44,287) ÷ 95,600 = 93.2% · 3,513 ÷ 95,600 = 3.7%

  3. Turnout of 71.0% was 3.4 pp below the state's median seat (74.4%).

    71.0 − 74.4 = −3.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 28.8 pp in 1990 to 0.5 pp.

    0.5 − 28.8 = −28.3 pp

  5. Rama Chandra Sethy also won in 1990.

    1990 winner name = 1995 winner name
