Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JNP polled 8,638 votes, 1.6× the 5,412-vote margin.

    8,638 ÷ 5,412 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 75.1% of votes; the other 8 candidates 24.9% between them.

    (20,552 + 15,140) ÷ 47,514 = 75.1% · 11,822 ÷ 47,514 = 24.9%

  3. Turnout of 40.0% was 16.0 pp below the state's median seat (56.0%).

    40.0 − 56.0 = −16.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 26.1 pp in 1980 to 11.4 pp.

    11.4 − 26.1 = −14.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1980, BJP in 1981.

    1980 INC · 1981 BJP
