Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.0% of votes; the other 2 candidates 1.2% between them.

    (3,67,994 + 3,56,547) ÷ 7,46,888 = 97.0% · 9,255 ÷ 7,46,888 = 1.2%

  2. Turnout of 61.8% was 1.0 pp above the state's median seat (60.8%).

    61.8 − 60.8 = +1.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 8.1 pp in 1996 to 1.5 pp.

    1.5 − 8.1 = −6.6 pp

  4. Girija Vyas, the 1996 winner, finished second in 1998.

    1996 winner name = 1998 runner-up name
