Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 2,201 votes, 4.6× the 481-vote margin.

    2,201 ÷ 481 = 4.6

  2. The top two polled 98.2% of votes; the other 1 candidate 1.7% between them.

    (62,769 + 62,288) ÷ 1,27,310 = 98.2% · 2,201 ÷ 1,27,310 = 1.7%

  3. Turnout of 86.2% was 8.9 pp above the state's median seat (77.3%).

    86.2 − 77.3 = +8.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 1.0 pp in 1996 to 0.4 pp.

    0.4 − 1.0 = −0.6 pp

  5. Chakradhar Maikap, the 1996 winner, finished second in 2001.

    1996 winner name = 2001 runner-up name
