Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.1% of votes; the other 7 candidates 6.5% between them.

    (2,32,287 + 1,14,854) ÷ 3,81,100 = 91.1% · 24,813 ÷ 3,81,100 = 6.5%

  2. Turnout of 67.1% was 5.2 pp above the state's median seat (61.9%).

    67.1 − 61.9 = +5.2

  3. The margin widened from 9.2 pp in 1980 to 30.8 pp.

    30.8 − 9.2 = +21.6 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1980.
