Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 81.9% of votes; the other 11 candidates 15.9% between them.

    (3,87,694 + 2,52,771) ÷ 7,81,757 = 81.9% · 1,24,452 ÷ 7,81,757 = 15.9%

  2. Turnout of 65.0% was 7.3 pp above the state's median seat (57.7%).

    65.0 − 57.7 = +7.3

  3. The margin widened from 2.9 pp in 1996 to 17.3 pp.

    17.3 − 2.9 = +14.4 pp

  4. Alagirisamy, V., the 1996 winner, finished second in 1998.

    1996 winner name = 1998 runner-up name
