Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.9% of votes; the other 2 candidates 4.5% between them.

    (2,95,754 + 92,181) ÷ 4,17,650 = 92.9% · 18,646 ÷ 4,17,650 = 4.5%

  2. Turnout of 60.0% was 4.9 pp above the state's median seat (55.1%).

    60.0 − 55.1 = +4.9

  3. The margin widened from 43.2 pp in 1980 to 48.7 pp.

    48.7 − 43.2 = +5.5 pp

  4. Raja Kamakhya Prasad Singh Deo Mahindra Bahadur also won in 1980.

    1980 winner name = 1984 winner name
