Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 81.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 15.9% between them.

    (2,18,002 + 93,967) ÷ 3,83,819 = 81.3% · 60,924 ÷ 3,83,819 = 15.9%

  2. Turnout of 56.7% was 10.8 pp above the state's median seat (45.9%).

    56.7 − 45.9 = +10.8

  3. The margin widened from 21.3 pp in 1977 to 32.3 pp.

    32.3 − 21.3 = +11.0 pp

  4. Bairagi Jena, the 1977 winner, finished second in 1980.

    1977 winner name = 1980 runner-up name
