Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 2.8% between them.

    (36,479 + 30,065) ÷ 71,405 = 93.2% · 1,980 ÷ 71,405 = 2.8%

  2. Turnout of 74.5% was 6.7 pp above the state's median seat (67.8%).

    74.5 − 67.8 = +6.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 17.9 pp in 1980 to 9.0 pp.

    9.0 − 17.9 = −8.9 pp

  4. Balwant Singh also won in 1980.
