Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JD polled 42,415 votes, 10× the 4,065-vote margin.

    42,415 ÷ 4,065 = 10.4

  2. The top two polled 89.9% of votes; the other 8 candidates 10.1% between them.

    (3,50,583 + 3,46,518) ÷ 7,75,782 = 89.9% · 78,681 ÷ 7,75,782 = 10.1%

  3. Turnout of 67.6% was 3.6 pp above the state's median seat (64.0%).

    67.6 − 64.0 = +3.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 2.9 pp in 1996 to 0.5 pp.

    0.5 − 2.9 = −2.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SAP in 1996, RJD in 1998.
