Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.4% of votes; the other 2 candidates 16.3% between them.

    (29,334 + 14,902) ÷ 55,699 = 79.4% · 9,091 ÷ 55,699 = 16.3%

  2. Turnout of 68.0% was 0.2 pp above the state's median seat (67.8%).

    68.0 − 67.8 = +0.2

  3. The margin widened from 2.4 pp in 1980 to 25.9 pp.

    25.9 − 2.4 = +23.5 pp

  4. Iqbal Singh, the 1980 winner, finished second in 1985.

    1980 winner name = 1985 runner-up name
