Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 4.4% between them.

    (42,674 + 28,036) ÷ 75,178 = 94.1% · 3,286 ÷ 75,178 = 4.4%

  2. Turnout of 62.8% was 6.9 pp above the state's median seat (55.9%).

    62.8 − 55.9 = +6.9

  3. The margin widened from 10.5 pp in 1980 to 19.5 pp.

    19.5 − 10.5 = +9.0 pp

  4. BJP held the seat it won in 1980.
