Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.8% of votes; the other 10 candidates 7.2% between them.

    (3,11,000 + 1,38,406) ÷ 4,84,110 = 92.8% · 34,704 ÷ 4,84,110 = 7.2%

  2. Turnout of 64.2% was 8.6 pp above the state's median seat (55.6%).

    64.2 − 55.6 = +8.6

  3. The margin widened from 30.3 pp in 1980 to 35.7 pp.

    35.7 − 30.3 = +5.4 pp
