Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.2% of votes; the other 1 candidate 2.4% between them.

    (12,989 + 9,189) ÷ 23,044 = 96.2% · 558 ÷ 23,044 = 2.4%

  2. Turnout of 66.6% was 5.5 pp below the state's median seat (72.1%).

    66.6 − 72.1 = −5.5

  3. The margin widened from 3.6 pp in 1977 to 16.5 pp.

    16.5 − 3.6 = +12.9 pp

  4. Kaul Singh also won in 1977.

    1977 winner name = 1982 winner name
