Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.8% of votes; the other 16 candidates 4.2% between them.

    (3,64,565 + 2,27,616) ÷ 6,17,919 = 95.8% · 25,719 ÷ 6,17,919 = 4.2%

  2. Turnout of 48.5% was 10.7 pp below the state's median seat (59.2%).

    48.5 − 59.2 = −10.7

  3. The margin widened from 12.0 pp in 1998 to 22.2 pp.

    22.2 − 12.0 = +10.2 pp

  4. Murasoli Maran also won in 1998.
