Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 5,199 votes, 2.8× the 1,878-vote margin.

    5,199 ÷ 1,878 = 2.8

  2. The top two polled 71.9% of votes; the other 7 candidates 26.6% between them.

    (9,350 + 7,472) ÷ 23,391 = 71.9% · 6,213 ÷ 23,391 = 26.6%

  3. Turnout of 77.0% was 4.9 pp above the state's median seat (72.1%).

    77.0 − 72.1 = +4.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 11.7 pp in 1977 to 8.0 pp.

    8.0 − 11.7 = −3.7 pp

  5. Kashmir Singh Rana also won in 1977.

    1977 winner name = 1982 winner name
