Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.9% of votes; the other 1 candidate 8.0% between them.

    (32,696 + 18,000) ÷ 57,032 = 88.9% · 4,556 ÷ 57,032 = 8.0%

  2. Turnout of 61.1% was 6.7 pp below the state's median seat (67.8%).

    61.1 − 67.8 = −6.7

  3. The margin widened from 1.6 pp in 1980 to 25.8 pp.

    25.8 − 1.6 = +24.2 pp

  4. Arjan Singh also won in 1980.
