Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.1% of votes; the other 1 candidate 2.9% between them.

    (4,62,248 + 4,01,288) ÷ 8,88,907 = 97.1% · 25,419 ÷ 8,88,907 = 2.9%

  2. Turnout of 69.0% was 1.7 pp above the state's median seat (67.3%).

    69.0 − 67.3 = +1.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 19.8 pp in 1999 to 6.9 pp.

    6.9 − 19.8 = −12.9 pp

  4. Braja Kishore Tripathy also won in 1999.

    1999 winner name = 2004 winner name
