Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.8% of votes; the other 26 candidates 6.7% between them.

    (3,01,640 + 2,63,452) ÷ 6,15,902 = 91.8% · 41,565 ÷ 6,15,902 = 6.7%

  2. Turnout of 67.3% was 3.3 pp above the state's median seat (64.0%).

    67.3 − 64.0 = +3.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 27.7 pp in 1984 to 6.2 pp.

    6.2 − 27.7 = −21.5 pp

  4. Harpal Singh, the 1984 winner, finished second in 1989.

    1984 winner name = 1989 runner-up name
