Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.9% of votes; the other 11 candidates 5.7% between them.

    (3,40,555 + 1,72,015) ÷ 5,58,038 = 91.9% · 31,666 ÷ 5,58,038 = 5.7%

  2. Turnout of 53.2% was 6.5 pp below the state's median seat (59.7%).

    53.2 − 59.7 = −6.5

  3. The margin widened from 15.9 pp in 1991 to 30.2 pp.

    30.2 − 15.9 = +14.3 pp
