Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 4.9% between them.

    (4,14,429 + 1,80,468) ÷ 6,25,351 = 95.1% · 30,445 ÷ 6,25,351 = 4.9%

  2. Turnout of 47.4% was 9.5 pp below the state's median seat (56.9%).

    47.4 − 56.9 = −9.5

  3. The margin widened from 19.3 pp in 1998 to 37.4 pp.

    37.4 − 19.3 = +18.1 pp
