Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.7% of votes; the other 9 candidates 6.4% between them.

    (2,42,214 + 1,17,281) ÷ 3,91,974 = 91.7% · 25,097 ÷ 3,91,974 = 6.4%

  2. Turnout of 66.3% was 4.4 pp above the state's median seat (61.9%).

    66.3 − 61.9 = +4.4

  3. The margin widened from 19.7 pp in 1980 to 31.9 pp.

    31.9 − 19.7 = +12.2 pp

  4. Narain Chand also won in 1980.

    1980 winner name = 1984 winner name
