About this data
Source: Election Commission of India, statistical reports for the 1982 West Bengal assembly election (detailed results, list of winners, list of parties). Vote shares are of valid votes, excluding NOTA, as ECI reports them. Turnout here is votes counted (including NOTA) divided by electors, so it runs slightly below ECI's official figure, which also counts rejected votes.
Converted from ECI's PDF report: in 1 constituency a small candidate row could not be read, so those totals fall slightly short (43 votes in all).
Map boundaries are approximate and for illustration.
