Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 77.2% of votes; the other 9 candidates 23.0% between them.

    (3,41,057 + 1,95,339) ÷ 6,94,449 = 77.2% · 1,59,823 ÷ 6,94,449 = 23.0%

  2. Turnout of 70.0% was 9.4 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    70.0 − 79.4 = −9.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 25.3 pp in 1999 to 21.0 pp.

    21.0 − 25.3 = −4.3 pp

  4. Bir Singh Mahato also won in 1999.

    1999 winner name = 2004 winner name
