Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.7% of votes; the other 7 candidates 4.8% between them.

    (3,91,042 + 3,48,638) ÷ 7,81,281 = 94.7% · 37,740 ÷ 7,81,281 = 4.8%

  2. Turnout of 83.1% was 3.5 pp above the state's median seat (79.6%).

    83.1 − 79.6 = +3.5

  3. The margin widened from 4.4 pp in 1984 to 5.4 pp.

    5.4 − 4.4 = +1.0 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1984.
