Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 73.7% of votes; the other 8 candidates 21.6% between them.

    (2,49,303 + 1,44,239) ÷ 5,33,719 = 73.7% · 1,15,326 ÷ 5,33,719 = 21.6%

  2. Turnout of 62.3% was 5.9 pp below the state's median seat (68.2%).

    62.3 − 68.2 = −5.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 22.3 pp in 1980 to 19.7 pp.

    19.7 − 22.3 = −2.6 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1980.
