Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.4% of votes; the other 9 candidates 4.6% between them.

    (3,94,223 + 2,84,691) ÷ 7,11,808 = 95.4% · 32,906 ÷ 7,11,808 = 4.6%

  2. Turnout of 55.1% was 6.0 pp below the state's median seat (61.1%).

    55.1 − 61.1 = −6.0

  3. The margin widened from 5.4 pp in 1999 to 15.4 pp.

    15.4 − 5.4 = +10.0 pp

  4. Raghunandan Lal Bhatia, the 1999 winner, finished second in 2004.

    1999 winner name = 2004 runner-up name
