Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.6% of votes; the other 9 candidates 3.4% between them.

    (3,89,777 + 3,45,259) ÷ 7,60,714 = 96.6% · 25,678 ÷ 7,60,714 = 3.4%

  2. Turnout of 57.2% was 2.6 pp above the state's median seat (54.6%).

    57.2 − 54.6 = +2.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 9.0 pp in 1998 to 5.9 pp.

    5.9 − 9.0 = −3.1 pp

  4. Tara Chand Sahu also won in 1998.

    1998 winner name = 1999 winner name
