Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 42,859 votes, 3.3× the 12,835-vote margin.

    42,859 ÷ 12,835 = 3.3

  2. The top two polled 90.0% of votes; the other 5 candidates 10.0% between them.

    (3,23,400 + 3,10,565) ÷ 7,04,243 = 90.0% · 70,278 ÷ 7,04,243 = 10.0%

  3. Turnout of 60.5% was 2.9 pp above the state's median seat (57.6%).

    60.5 − 57.6 = +2.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 19.0 pp in 1999 to 1.8 pp.

    1.8 − 19.0 = −17.2 pp

  5. Devendra Prasad Yadav also won in 1999.

    1999 winner name = 2004 winner name
