Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.3% of votes; the other 6 candidates 5.0% between them.

    (40,131 + 33,879) ÷ 78,454 = 94.3% · 3,919 ÷ 78,454 = 5.0%

  2. Turnout of 82.8% was 8.4 pp above the state's median seat (74.4%).

    82.8 − 74.4 = +8.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 9.3 pp in 1980 to 8.0 pp.

    8.0 − 9.3 = −1.3 pp

  4. P. R. Sivan, the 1980 winner, finished second in 1982.

    1980 winner name = 1982 runner-up name
