Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 1.3% between them.

    (63,794 + 50,539) ÷ 1,17,570 = 97.2% · 1,517 ÷ 1,17,570 = 1.3%

  2. Turnout of 73.2% was 4.0 pp below the state's median seat (77.2%).

    73.2 − 77.2 = −4.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 25.7 pp in 1982 to 11.3 pp.

    11.3 − 25.7 = −14.4 pp

  4. Rabin Mukherjee also won in 1982.

    1982 winner name = 1987 winner name
