Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.9% of votes; the other 1 candidate 0.5% between them.

    (4,04,988 + 2,24,009) ÷ 6,42,761 = 97.9% · 3,215 ÷ 6,42,761 = 0.5%

  2. Turnout of 61.2% was 4.3 pp above the state's median seat (56.9%).

    61.2 − 56.9 = +4.3

  3. The margin widened from 26.7 pp in 1998 to 28.2 pp.

    28.2 − 26.7 = +1.5 pp

  4. Sangeeta Kumari Singh Deo also won in 1998.

    1998 winner name = 1999 winner name
