Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 80.9% of votes; the other 15 candidates 17.6% between them.

    (92,239 + 55,560) ÷ 1,82,752 = 80.9% · 32,189 ÷ 1,82,752 = 17.6%

  2. Turnout of 58.8% was 15.6 pp below the state's median seat (74.4%).

    58.8 − 74.4 = −15.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 64.5 pp in 1990 to 20.1 pp.

    20.1 − 64.5 = −44.4 pp

  4. Biju Patnaik also won in 1990.

    1990 winner name = 1995 winner name
