Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.9% of votes; the other 7 candidates 2.1% between them.

    (3,80,785 + 2,49,769) ÷ 6,50,836 = 96.9% · 13,667 ÷ 6,50,836 = 2.1%

  2. Turnout of 58.5% matched the state's median seat.

    58.5 − 58.5 = 0.0

  3. The margin widened from 3.0 pp in 1996 to 20.1 pp.

    20.1 − 3.0 = +17.1 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: SAD in 1996, JD in 1998.
