Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 6.4% between them.

    (2,97,560 + 2,16,466) ÷ 5,59,142 = 91.9% · 35,602 ÷ 5,59,142 = 6.4%

  2. Turnout of 49.9% was 9.8 pp below the state's median seat (59.7%).

    49.9 − 59.7 = −9.8

  3. The margin widened from 6.0 pp in 1991 to 14.5 pp.

    14.5 − 6.0 = +8.5 pp

  4. Ramachandra Rath, the 1991 winner, finished second in 1996.

    1991 winner name = 1996 runner-up name
