Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.7% of votes; the other 1 candidate 12.0% between them.

    (4,50,092 + 2,70,549) ÷ 8,31,273 = 86.7% · 99,439 ÷ 8,31,273 = 12.0%

  2. Turnout of 86.0% was 5.1 pp above the state's median seat (80.9%).

    86.0 − 80.9 = +5.1

  3. The margin widened from 13.2 pp in 1996 to 21.6 pp.

    21.6 − 13.2 = +8.4 pp

  4. Geeta Mukherjee also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 1998 winner name
