Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 1,82,292 votes, 22× the 8,129-vote margin.

    1,82,292 ÷ 8,129 = 22.4

  2. The top two polled 65.0% of votes; the other 8 candidates 35.0% between them.

    (2,08,077 + 1,99,948) ÷ 6,27,300 = 65.0% · 2,19,275 ÷ 6,27,300 = 35.0%

  3. Turnout of 52.8% was 1.7 pp below the state's median seat (54.5%).

    52.8 − 54.5 = −1.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.5 pp in 1996 to 1.3 pp.

    1.3 − 9.5 = −8.2 pp

  5. Devi Bux also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 1998 winner name
