Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.6% of votes; the other 7 candidates 13.4% between them.

    (27,840 + 15,891) ÷ 50,504 = 86.6% · 6,764 ÷ 50,504 = 13.4%

  2. Turnout of 43.3% was 34.0 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    43.3 − 77.3 = −34.0

  3. The margin widened from 3.5 pp in 1998 to 23.7 pp.

    23.7 − 3.5 = +20.2 pp

  4. Ajit Pandey, the 1998 winner, finished second in 2001.

    1998 winner name = 2001 runner-up name
