Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 4.9% between them.

    (2,96,611 + 2,67,426) ÷ 5,99,800 = 94.0% · 29,139 ÷ 5,99,800 = 4.9%

  2. Turnout of 58.3% was 0.6 pp above the state's median seat (57.7%).

    58.3 − 57.7 = +0.6

  3. The margin widened from 4.7 pp in 1996 to 4.9 pp.

    4.9 − 4.7 = +0.2 pp

  4. Dennis, N. also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 1998 winner name
