Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.9% of votes; the other 2 candidates 7.0% between them.

    (55,125 + 46,740) ÷ 1,09,596 = 92.9% · 7,706 ÷ 1,09,596 = 7.0%

  2. Turnout of 78.5% was 1.2 pp above the state's median seat (77.3%).

    78.5 − 77.3 = +1.2

  3. The margin widened from 2.6 pp in 1996 to 7.7 pp.

    7.7 − 2.6 = +5.1 pp

  4. Samar Mukherjee, the 1996 winner, finished second in 2001.

    1996 winner name = 2001 runner-up name

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
