Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 96,950 votes, 2.2× the 43,356-vote margin.

    96,950 ÷ 43,356 = 2.2

  2. The top two polled 68.1% of votes; the other 4 candidates 31.9% between them.

    (2,09,835 + 1,66,479) ÷ 5,52,541 = 68.1% · 1,76,227 ÷ 5,52,541 = 31.9%

  3. Turnout of 65.4% was 0.2 pp above the state's median seat (65.2%).

    65.4 − 65.2 = +0.2

  4. The margin widened from 7.5 pp in 1984 to 7.9 pp.

    7.9 − 7.5 = +0.4 pp

  5. Gurdial Singh Dhillon also won in 1984.

    1984 winner name = 1985 winner name
