Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 10,950 votes, 1.9× the 5,772-vote margin.

    10,950 ÷ 5,772 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 93.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 5.0% between them.

    (2,90,524 + 2,84,752) ÷ 6,15,621 = 93.4% · 30,715 ÷ 6,15,621 = 5.0%

  3. Turnout of 58.9% was 1.9 pp below the state's median seat (60.8%).

    58.9 − 60.8 = −1.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.5 pp in 1996 to 0.9 pp.

    0.9 − 8.5 = −7.6 pp

  5. Rasa Singh Rawat, the 1996 winner, finished second in 1998.

    1996 winner name = 1998 runner-up name
