Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JD polled 99,334 votes, 8.8× the 11,332-vote margin.

    99,334 ÷ 11,332 = 8.8

  2. The top two polled 81.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 16.7% between them.

    (3,43,704 + 3,32,372) ÷ 8,28,009 = 81.7% · 1,38,165 ÷ 8,28,009 = 16.7%

  3. Turnout of 70.1% was 2.9 pp above the state's median seat (67.2%).

    70.1 − 67.2 = +2.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.0 pp in 1996 to 1.4 pp.

    1.4 − 13.0 = −11.6 pp

  5. G.Mallikarjunappa, the 1996 winner, finished second in 1998.

    1996 winner name = 1998 runner-up name
