Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.7% of votes; the other 1 candidate 12.6% between them.

    (2,28,620 + 1,18,669) ÷ 4,10,182 = 84.7% · 51,732 ÷ 4,10,182 = 12.6%

  2. Turnout of 62.7% was 20.5 pp above the state's median seat (42.2%).

    62.7 − 42.2 = +20.5

  3. The margin widened from 0.5 pp in 1972 to 26.8 pp.

    26.8 − 0.5 = +26.3 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: UC in 1972, BLD in 1977.
