Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 1.6% between them.

    (4,07,603 + 2,02,286) ÷ 6,24,984 = 97.6% · 9,917 ÷ 6,24,984 = 1.6%

  2. Turnout of 51.4% was 5.5 pp below the state's median seat (56.9%).

    51.4 − 56.9 = −5.5

  3. The margin widened from 16.9 pp in 1998 to 32.9 pp.

    32.9 − 16.9 = +16.0 pp

  4. BJD held the seat it won in 1998.
