Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 9.0% between them.

    (36,342 + 20,097) ÷ 64,662 = 87.3% · 5,817 ÷ 64,662 = 9.0%

  2. Turnout of 69.4% was 1.6 pp above the state's median seat (67.8%).

    69.4 − 67.8 = +1.6

  3. The margin widened from 2.4 pp in 1980 to 25.1 pp.

    25.1 − 2.4 = +22.7 pp

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

    1980 winner name = 1985 runner-up name
