Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.5% of votes; the other 12 candidates 10.3% between them.

    (30,267 + 17,618) ÷ 54,112 = 88.5% · 5,572 ÷ 54,112 = 10.3%

  2. Turnout of 69.7% was 0.7 pp below the state's median seat (70.4%).

    69.7 − 70.4 = −0.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 46.1 pp in 1977 to 23.4 pp.

    23.4 − 46.1 = −22.7 pp

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

    1977 winner name = 1982 runner-up name
