Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.4% of votes; the other 2 candidates 3.6% between them.

    (6,06,712 + 4,77,609) ÷ 11,24,817 = 96.4% · 40,126 ÷ 11,24,817 = 3.6%

  2. Turnout of 90.0% was 7.4 pp above the state's median seat (82.6%).

    90.0 − 82.6 = +7.4

  3. The margin widened from 6.4 pp in 2004 to 11.5 pp.

    11.5 − 6.4 = +5.1 pp

  4. Prasanta Pradhan, the 2004 winner, finished second in 2009.

    2004 winner name = 2009 runner-up name
