Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 1.0% between them.

    (3,89,908 + 3,45,441) ÷ 7,51,205 = 97.9% · 7,510 ÷ 7,51,205 = 1.0%

  2. Turnout of 63.0% was 4.5 pp above the state's median seat (58.5%).

    63.0 − 58.5 = +4.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 8.2 pp in 1996 to 5.9 pp.

    5.9 − 8.2 = −2.3 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BSP in 1996, SAD in 1998.
