Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 72.0% of votes; the other 5 candidates 26.1% between them.

    (4,52,671 + 1,77,152) ÷ 8,74,531 = 72.0% · 2,28,387 ÷ 8,74,531 = 26.1%

  2. Turnout of 80.8% was 0.1 pp below the state's median seat (80.9%).

    80.8 − 80.9 = −0.1

  3. The margin widened from 23.7 pp in 1996 to 31.5 pp.

    31.5 − 23.7 = +7.8 pp

  4. Indrajit Gupta also won in 1996.
