Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 78.1% of votes; the other 6 candidates 17.5% between them.

    (2,11,929 + 1,59,977) ÷ 4,76,306 = 78.1% · 83,218 ÷ 4,76,306 = 17.5%

  2. Turnout of 56.7% was 3.1 pp below the state's median seat (59.8%).

    56.7 − 59.8 = −3.1

  3. The margin widened from 7.1 pp in 1984 to 10.9 pp.

    10.9 − 7.1 = +3.8 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1984, JD in 1989.
