Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 5,738 votes, 2.3× the 2,469-vote margin.

    5,738 ÷ 2,469 = 2.3

  2. The top two polled 75.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 18.9% between them.

    (26,296 + 23,827) ÷ 66,200 = 75.7% · 12,506 ÷ 66,200 = 18.9%

  3. Turnout of 70.5% was 2.7 pp above the state's median seat (67.8%).

    70.5 − 67.8 = +2.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.1 pp in 1980 to 3.7 pp.

    3.7 − 4.1 = −0.4 pp

  5. Sarwan Singh also won in 1980.
