Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.3% of votes; the other 10 candidates 6.4% between them.

    (2,42,982 + 1,10,560) ÷ 3,87,146 = 91.3% · 24,679 ÷ 3,87,146 = 6.4%

  2. Turnout of 64.7% was 14.4 pp below the state's median seat (79.1%).

    64.7 − 79.1 = −14.4

  3. The margin widened from 13.7 pp in 1980 to 34.2 pp.

    34.2 − 13.7 = +20.5 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1980.
