Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 5.2% between them.

    (3,96,145 + 3,24,383) ÷ 7,65,190 = 94.2% · 39,705 ÷ 7,65,190 = 5.2%

  2. Turnout of 72.1% was 1.5 pp above the state's median seat (70.6%).

    72.1 − 70.6 = +1.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 10.6 pp in 1996 to 9.4 pp.

    9.4 − 10.6 = −1.2 pp

  4. N.K. Premachandran also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 1998 winner name
