Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.9% of votes; the other 18 candidates 7.1% between them.

    (3,15,899 + 2,64,410) ÷ 6,24,681 = 92.9% · 44,372 ÷ 6,24,681 = 7.1%

  2. Turnout of 57.2% was 1.1 pp below the state's median seat (58.3%).

    57.2 − 58.3 = −1.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 18.9 pp in 1991 to 8.2 pp.

    8.2 − 18.9 = −10.7 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: JD in 1991, BJP in 1996.
