Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.6% of votes; the other 2 candidates 15.9% between them.

    (27,199 + 17,929) ÷ 56,713 = 79.6% · 9,045 ÷ 56,713 = 15.9%

  2. Turnout of 57.5% was 10.3 pp below the state's median seat (67.8%).

    57.5 − 67.8 = −10.3

  3. The margin widened from 10.1 pp in 1980 to 16.3 pp.

    16.3 − 10.1 = +6.2 pp

  4. Prem Singh Lalpura also won in 1980.
