Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 12.8% between them.

    (9,514 + 6,593) ÷ 18,673 = 86.3% · 2,389 ÷ 18,673 = 12.8%

  2. Turnout of 62.1% was 8.4 pp below the state's median seat (70.5%).

    62.1 − 70.5 = −8.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 35.1 pp in 1982 to 15.6 pp.

    15.6 − 35.1 = −19.5 pp

  4. Raghu Raj also won in 1982.

    1982 winner name = 1985 winner name
