Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.3% of votes; the other 11 candidates 3.7% between them.

    (1,69,710 + 93,891) ÷ 2,73,776 = 96.3% · 10,175 ÷ 2,73,776 = 3.7%

  2. Turnout of 36.6% matched the state's median seat.

    36.6 − 36.6 = 0.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 43.9 pp in 1984 to 27.7 pp.

    27.7 − 43.9 = −16.2 pp
