Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI polled 8,158 votes, 5.4× the 1,498-vote margin.

    8,158 ÷ 1,498 = 5.4

  2. The top two polled 71.8% of votes; the other 5 candidates 27.7% between them.

    (11,962 + 10,464) ÷ 31,220 = 71.8% · 8,636 ÷ 31,220 = 27.7%

  3. Turnout of 56.3% was 11.6 pp below the state's median seat (67.9%).

    56.3 − 67.9 = −11.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 29.7 pp in 1985 to 4.8 pp.

    4.8 − 29.7 = −24.9 pp

  5. Asha Kumari, the 1985 winner, finished second in 1990.

    1985 winner name = 1990 runner-up name
