Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.9% of votes; the other 1 candidate 5.1% between them.

    (88,230 + 46,689) ÷ 1,42,187 = 94.9% · 7,208 ÷ 1,42,187 = 5.1%

  2. Turnout of 86.1% was 8.8 pp above the state's median seat (77.3%).

    86.1 − 77.3 = +8.8

  3. The margin widened from 23.0 pp in 1996 to 29.2 pp.

    29.2 − 23.0 = +6.2 pp

  4. Gurupada Dutta also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 2001 winner name
