Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.5% of votes; the other 5 candidates 3.4% between them.

    (38,344 + 15,890) ÷ 58,635 = 92.5% · 1,989 ÷ 58,635 = 3.4%

  2. Turnout of 76.3% was 3.4 pp below the state's median seat (79.7%).

    76.3 − 79.7 = −3.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 47.5 pp in 1983 to 38.3 pp.

    38.3 − 47.5 = −9.2 pp

  4. Hemprakash Narayan, the 1983 winner, finished second in 1985.

    1983 winner name = 1985 runner-up name
