Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 1,98,278 votes, 11× the 18,374-vote margin.

    1,98,278 ÷ 18,374 = 10.8

  2. The top two polled 63.3% of votes; the other 9 candidates 36.7% between them.

    (2,22,126 + 2,03,752) ÷ 6,73,062 = 63.3% · 2,47,184 ÷ 6,73,062 = 36.7%

  3. Turnout of 55.8% was 1.3 pp above the state's median seat (54.5%).

    55.8 − 54.5 = +1.3

  4. The margin widened from 2.4 pp in 1996 to 2.7 pp.

    2.7 − 2.4 = +0.3 pp
