Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 2.5% between them.

    (34,793 + 17,765) ÷ 55,277 = 95.1% · 1,355 ÷ 55,277 = 2.5%

  2. Turnout of 72.0% was 4.2 pp above the state's median seat (67.8%).

    72.0 − 67.8 = +4.2

  3. The margin widened from 3.8 pp in 1980 to 30.8 pp.

    30.8 − 3.8 = +27.0 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1980, BJP in 1985.
