Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 3.3% between them.

    (3,28,761 + 2,98,441) ÷ 6,48,473 = 96.7% · 21,271 ÷ 6,48,473 = 3.3%

  2. Turnout of 65.0% was 3.5 pp above the state's median seat (61.5%).

    65.0 − 61.5 = +3.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 8.2 pp in 1998 to 4.7 pp.

    4.7 − 8.2 = −3.5 pp

  4. Lalu Prasad, the 1998 winner, finished second in 1999.

    1998 winner name = 1999 runner-up name
