Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 54.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 40.8% between them.

    (2,69,074 + 1,28,704) ÷ 7,27,264 = 54.7% · 2,96,471 ÷ 7,27,264 = 40.8%

  2. Turnout of 71.0% was 2.3 pp above the state's median seat (68.7%).

    71.0 − 68.7 = +2.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 23.4 pp in 1984 to 19.3 pp.

    19.3 − 23.4 = −4.1 pp

  4. T.V.Chandrashekarappa also won in 1984.

    1984 winner name = 1989 winner name
