Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 2.5% between them.

    (58,850 + 48,864) ÷ 1,12,010 = 96.2% · 2,852 ÷ 1,12,010 = 2.5%

  2. Turnout of 81.7% was 5.5 pp above the state's median seat (76.2%).

    81.7 − 76.2 = +5.5

  3. The margin widened from 2.6 pp in 1996 to 8.9 pp.

    8.9 − 2.6 = +6.3 pp

  4. Ganesh Kutum, the 1996 winner, finished second in 2001.

    1996 winner name = 2001 runner-up name
