Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 75.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 24.1% between them.

    (58,686 + 26,055) ÷ 1,12,711 = 75.2% · 27,164 ÷ 1,12,711 = 24.1%

  2. Turnout of 55.0% was 4.2 pp below the state's median seat (59.2%).

    55.0 − 59.2 = −4.2

  3. The margin widened from 18.8 pp in 1995 to 29.0 pp.

    29.0 − 18.8 = +10.2 pp

  4. Mahesh Sahoo also won in 1995.

    1995 winner name = 2000 winner name
