Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.7% of votes; the other 3 candidates 2.5% between them.

    (4,39,749 + 4,04,790) ÷ 8,73,572 = 96.7% · 21,604 ÷ 8,73,572 = 2.5%

  2. Turnout of 72.7% was 14.2 pp above the state's median seat (58.5%).

    72.7 − 58.5 = +14.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 4.7 pp in 1996 to 4.0 pp.

    4.0 − 4.7 = −0.7 pp

  4. Sukhbir Singh Badal also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 1998 winner name
