Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 8.6% between them.

    (78,297 + 38,753) ÷ 1,28,182 = 91.3% · 11,040 ÷ 1,28,182 = 8.6%

  2. Turnout of 80.7% was 3.4 pp above the state's median seat (77.3%).

    80.7 − 77.3 = +3.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 36.6 pp in 1996 to 30.8 pp.

    30.8 − 36.6 = −5.8 pp

  4. Shyama Prosad Pal also won in 1996.
