Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.3% of votes; the other 2 candidates 0.7% between them.

    (50,705 + 48,994) ÷ 1,02,467 = 97.3% · 720 ÷ 1,02,467 = 0.7%

  2. Turnout of 76.3% was 6.1 pp above the state's median seat (70.2%).

    76.3 − 70.2 = +6.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 12.4 pp in 1994 to 1.7 pp.

    1.7 − 12.4 = −10.7 pp

  4. Rattan Singh also won in 1994.

    1994 winner name = 1997 winner name
