Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 85.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 11.3% between them.

    (2,19,831 + 95,879) ÷ 3,68,514 = 85.7% · 41,528 ÷ 3,68,514 = 11.3%

  2. Turnout of 52.3% was 6.4 pp above the state's median seat (45.9%).

    52.3 − 45.9 = +6.4

  3. The margin widened from 18.3 pp in 1977 to 33.6 pp.

    33.6 − 18.3 = +15.3 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BLD in 1977, INC in 1980.

    1977 BLD · 1980 INC
