Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.5% of votes; the other 4 candidates 5.0% between them.

    (3,14,555 + 2,96,764) ÷ 6,40,345 = 95.5% · 31,858 ÷ 6,40,345 = 5.0%

  2. Turnout of 62.0% was 0.4 pp above the state's median seat (61.6%).

    62.0 − 61.6 = +0.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 18.1 pp in 1999 to 2.8 pp.

    2.8 − 18.1 = −15.3 pp

  4. Shanta Kumar, the 1999 winner, finished second in 2004.

    1999 winner name = 2004 runner-up name
