Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 70.2% of votes; the other 11 candidates 29.8% between them.

    (3,12,057 + 1,81,459) ÷ 7,02,904 = 70.2% · 2,09,388 ÷ 7,02,904 = 29.8%

  2. Turnout of 59.4% was 0.8 pp below the state's median seat (60.2%).

    59.4 − 60.2 = −0.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 28.2 pp in 1996 to 18.6 pp.

    18.6 − 28.2 = −9.6 pp
