Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 1,56,621 votes, 2.9× the 54,252-vote margin.

    1,56,621 ÷ 54,252 = 2.9

  2. The top two polled 65.7% of votes; the other 13 candidates 34.3% between them.

    (2,27,341 + 1,73,089) ÷ 6,09,521 = 65.7% · 2,09,091 ÷ 6,09,521 = 34.3%

  3. Turnout of 41.5% was 1.9 pp above the state's median seat (39.6%).

    41.5 − 39.6 = +1.9

  4. The margin widened from 1.0 pp in 2004 to 8.9 pp.

    8.9 − 1.0 = +7.9 pp

  5. Ramakant Yadav, the 2004 winner, finished second in 2008.

    2004 winner name = 2008 runner-up name
