Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 2.6% between them.

    (12,744 + 9,983) ÷ 23,592 = 96.3% · 615 ÷ 23,592 = 2.6%

  2. Turnout of 72.2% was 0.1 pp above the state's median seat (72.1%).

    72.2 − 72.1 = +0.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 20.4 pp in 1977 to 11.7 pp.

    11.7 − 20.4 = −8.7 pp

  4. Kishori Lal, the 1977 winner, finished second in 1982.

    1977 winner name = 1982 runner-up name
