Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.8% of votes; the other 6 candidates 4.5% between them.

    (3,56,914 + 2,76,963) ÷ 6,76,000 = 93.8% · 30,129 ÷ 6,76,000 = 4.5%

  2. Turnout of 60.8% matched the state's median seat.

    60.8 − 60.8 = 0.0

  3. The margin widened from 3.6 pp in 1996 to 11.8 pp.

    11.8 − 3.6 = +8.2 pp

  4. Subhash Chandra Baheriya, the 1996 winner, finished second in 1998.

    1996 winner name = 1998 runner-up name

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
