Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.1% of votes; the other 10 candidates 12.7% between them.

    (3,52,837 + 2,40,529) ÷ 6,89,395 = 86.1% · 87,520 ÷ 6,89,395 = 12.7%

  2. Turnout of 62.6% was 2.9 pp above the state's median seat (59.7%).

    62.6 − 59.7 = +2.9

  3. The margin widened from 6.7 pp in 1991 to 16.3 pp.

    16.3 − 6.7 = +9.6 pp

  4. Brajakishore Tripathy, the 1991 winner, finished second in 1996.

    1991 winner name = 1996 runner-up name
