Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 4.2% between them.

    (27,561 + 25,308) ÷ 55,653 = 95.0% · 2,314 ÷ 55,653 = 4.2%

  2. Turnout of 52.1% was 3.8 pp below the state's median seat (55.9%).

    52.1 − 55.9 = −3.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 7.3 pp in 1980 to 4.0 pp.

    4.0 − 7.3 = −3.3 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJP in 1980, INC in 1985.
