Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 78.8% of votes; the other 12 candidates 21.2% between them.

    (3,35,996 + 1,99,987) ÷ 6,80,263 = 78.8% · 1,44,280 ÷ 6,80,263 = 21.2%

  2. Turnout of 48.5% was 6.0 pp below the state's median seat (54.5%).

    48.5 − 54.5 = −6.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 26.5 pp in 1996 to 20.0 pp.

    20.0 − 26.5 = −6.5 pp

  4. Jagat Veer Singh Dron also won in 1996.
