Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.1% of votes; the other 8 candidates 6.2% between them.

    (2,33,380 + 2,06,753) ÷ 4,72,705 = 93.1% · 29,485 ÷ 4,72,705 = 6.2%

  2. Turnout of 61.3% was 4.7 pp above the state's median seat (56.6%).

    61.3 − 56.6 = +4.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 6.0 pp in 1989 to 5.6 pp.

    5.6 − 6.0 = −0.4 pp

  4. Maheshwar Singh, the 1989 winner, finished second in 1991.

    1989 winner name = 1991 runner-up name

Each line is arithmetic over the figures on this page.
