Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 72.8% of votes; the other 8 candidates 22.3% between them.

    (55,542 + 18,683) ÷ 1,01,933 = 72.8% · 22,759 ÷ 1,01,933 = 22.3%

  2. Turnout of 11.9% was 21.9 pp below the state's median seat (33.8%).

    11.9 − 33.8 = −21.9

  3. The margin widened from 27.6 pp in 1998 to 36.2 pp.

    36.2 − 27.6 = +8.6 pp

  4. JKNC held the seat it won in 1998.
