Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.8% of votes; the other 8 candidates 9.2% between them.

    (3,50,426 + 3,19,639) ÷ 7,38,272 = 90.8% · 68,215 ÷ 7,38,272 = 9.2%

  2. Turnout of 57.3% was 0.3 pp below the state's median seat (57.6%).

    57.3 − 57.6 = −0.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 13.1 pp in 1999 to 4.2 pp.

    4.2 − 13.1 = −8.9 pp

  4. Dinesh Chandra Yadav, the 1999 winner, finished second in 2004.

    1999 winner name = 2004 runner-up name
