Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 82.4% of votes; the other 120 candidates 16.1% between them.

    (5,38,655 + 3,86,156) ÷ 11,22,631 = 82.4% · 1,80,599 ÷ 11,22,631 = 16.1%

  2. Turnout of 50.5% was 1.2 pp below the state's median seat (51.7%).

    50.5 − 51.7 = −1.2

  3. The margin widened from 8.1 pp in 1991 to 13.6 pp.

    13.6 − 8.1 = +5.5 pp

  4. B.L. Sharma "prem" also won in 1991.

    1991 winner name = 1996 winner name
