Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 9,473 votes, 5.9× the 1,615-vote margin.

    9,473 ÷ 1,615 = 5.9

  2. The top two polled 96.1% of votes; the other 7 candidates 4.5% between them.

    (3,13,243 + 3,11,628) ÷ 6,49,994 = 96.1% · 29,231 ÷ 6,49,994 = 4.5%

  3. Turnout of 61.1% was 0.5 pp below the state's median seat (61.6%).

    61.1 − 61.6 = −0.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 23.1 pp in 1999 to 0.2 pp.

    0.2 − 23.1 = −22.9 pp

  5. Suresh Chandel also won in 1999.

    1999 winner name = 2004 winner name
