Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 44,259 votes, 3.0× the 14,770-vote margin.

    44,259 ÷ 14,770 = 3.0

  2. The top two polled 94.4% of votes; the other 1 candidate 5.5% between them.

    (3,90,556 + 3,75,786) ÷ 8,11,674 = 94.4% · 44,259 ÷ 8,11,674 = 5.5%

  3. Turnout of 65.3% was 2.0 pp below the state's median seat (67.3%).

    65.3 − 67.3 = −2.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.1 pp in 1999 to 1.8 pp.

    1.8 − 18.1 = −16.3 pp

  5. Prasanna Acharya also won in 1999.

    1999 winner name = 2004 winner name
