Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 4,805 votes, 4.0× the 1,193-vote margin.

    4,805 ÷ 1,193 = 4.0

  2. The top two polled 81.9% of votes; the other 6 candidates 13.7% between them.

    (28,150 + 26,957) ÷ 67,278 = 81.9% · 9,185 ÷ 67,278 = 13.7%

  3. Turnout of 73.1% was 5.3 pp above the state's median seat (67.8%).

    73.1 − 67.8 = +5.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.4 pp in 1980 to 1.8 pp.

    1.8 − 16.4 = −14.6 pp

  5. Vinod Kumar, the 1980 winner, finished second in 1985.

    1980 winner name = 1985 runner-up name
