Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 13,052 votes, 1.2× the 11,239-vote margin.

    13,052 ÷ 11,239 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 64.2% of votes; the other 7 candidates 31.5% between them.

    (36,315 + 25,076) ÷ 95,642 = 64.2% · 30,168 ÷ 95,642 = 31.5%

  3. Turnout of 78.9% was 0.6 pp below the state's median seat (79.5%).

    78.9 − 79.5 = −0.6

  4. The margin widened from 8.9 pp in 1991 to 11.8 pp.

    11.8 − 8.9 = +2.9 pp

  5. Dilip Kumar Saikia also won in 1991.

    1991 winner name = 1996 winner name
