Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.8% of votes; the other 2 candidates 4.7% between them.

    (69,370 + 25,634) ÷ 1,06,943 = 88.8% · 4,996 ÷ 1,06,943 = 4.7%

  2. Turnout of 77.3% was 2.9 pp above the state's median seat (74.4%).

    77.3 − 74.4 = +2.9

  3. The margin widened from 3.3 pp in 1990 to 40.9 pp.

    40.9 − 3.3 = +37.6 pp

  4. Sadan Naik, the 1990 winner, finished second in 1995.

    1990 winner name = 1995 runner-up name
