Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.6% of votes; the other 6 candidates 8.7% between them.

    (6,19,325 + 5,21,073) ÷ 12,45,065 = 91.6% · 1,07,962 ÷ 12,45,065 = 8.7%

  2. Turnout of 80.7% was 1.3 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    80.7 − 79.4 = +1.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 11.1 pp in 1999 to 7.9 pp.

    7.9 − 11.1 = −3.2 pp

  4. Tapan Sikdar, the 1999 winner, finished second in 2004.

    1999 winner name = 2004 runner-up name
