Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.1% of votes; the other 8 candidates 2.9% between them.

    (3,44,302 + 3,06,622) ÷ 6,70,220 = 97.1% · 19,296 ÷ 6,70,220 = 2.9%

  2. Turnout of 67.3% matched the state's median seat.

    67.3 − 67.3 = 0.0

  3. The margin widened from 3.6 pp in 1996 to 5.6 pp.

    5.6 − 3.6 = +2.0 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1996, BJP in 1997.
