Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.2% of votes; the other 14 candidates 14.6% between them.

    (34,877 + 24,254) ÷ 70,197 = 84.2% · 10,268 ÷ 70,197 = 14.6%

  2. Turnout of 43.3% was 12.6 pp below the state's median seat (55.9%).

    43.3 − 55.9 = −12.6

  3. The margin widened from 2.7 pp in 1980 to 15.1 pp.

    15.1 − 2.7 = +12.4 pp

  4. Shiv Ram Sharma also won in 1980.
