Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.4% of votes; the other 3 candidates 3.5% between them.

    (22,910 + 12,676) ÷ 37,314 = 95.4% · 1,312 ÷ 37,314 = 3.5%

  2. Turnout of 34.5% was 26.0 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    34.5 − 60.5 = −26.0

  3. The margin widened from 2.2 pp in 1980 to 27.4 pp.

    27.4 − 2.2 = +25.2 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJP in 1980, INC in 1985.
