Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.2% of votes; the other 8 candidates 4.8% between them.

    (5,61,563 + 2,55,558) ÷ 8,57,893 = 95.2% · 41,342 ÷ 8,57,893 = 4.8%

  2. Turnout of 46.4% was 2.3 pp below the state's median seat (48.7%).

    46.4 − 48.7 = −2.3

  3. The margin widened from 15.4 pp in 1999 to 35.7 pp.

    35.7 − 15.4 = +20.3 pp
