Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.1% of votes; the other 85 candidates 12.2% between them.

    (7,01,262 + 4,68,129) ÷ 13,57,799 = 86.1% · 1,66,275 ÷ 13,57,799 = 12.2%

  2. Turnout of 48.1% was 3.6 pp below the state's median seat (51.7%).

    48.1 − 51.7 = −3.6

  3. The margin widened from 11.2 pp in 1991 to 17.2 pp.

    17.2 − 11.2 = +6.0 pp

  4. Sajjan Kumar, the 1991 winner, finished second in 1996.

    1991 winner name = 1996 runner-up name
