Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 37,584 votes, 15× the 2,565-vote margin.

    37,584 ÷ 2,565 = 14.7

  2. The top two polled 81.7% of votes; the other 12 candidates 18.3% between them.

    (2,88,922 + 2,86,357) ÷ 7,04,422 = 81.7% · 1,29,170 ÷ 7,04,422 = 18.3%

  3. Turnout of 60.8% was 3.2 pp above the state's median seat (57.6%).

    60.8 − 57.6 = +3.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 21.4 pp in 1999 to 0.4 pp.

    0.4 − 21.4 = −21.0 pp

  5. Nikhil Kumar Choudhary also won in 1999.

    1999 winner name = 2004 winner name
