Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JD(U) polled 1,18,706 votes, 1.6× the 76,227-vote margin.

    1,18,706 ÷ 76,227 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 61.9% of votes; the other 9 candidates 38.1% between them.

    (2,33,869 + 1,57,642) ÷ 6,32,330 = 61.9% · 2,40,832 ÷ 6,32,330 = 38.1%

  3. Turnout of 53.5% was 4.1 pp below the state's median seat (57.6%).

    53.5 − 57.6 = −4.1

  4. The margin widened from 2.4 pp in 1999 to 12.1 pp.

    12.1 − 2.4 = +9.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JD(U) in 1999, LJP in 2004.
