Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.9% of votes; the other 11 candidates 7.1% between them.

    (1,03,410 + 31,795) ÷ 1,45,615 = 92.9% · 10,386 ÷ 1,45,615 = 7.1%

  2. Turnout of 75.6% was 1.7 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    75.6 − 77.3 = −1.7

  3. The margin widened from 16.2 pp in 1996 to 49.2 pp.

    49.2 − 16.2 = +33.0 pp

  4. Lagan Deo Singh also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 2001 winner name
