Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 78.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 18.7% between them.

    (1,87,144 + 54,527) ÷ 3,08,777 = 78.3% · 57,595 ÷ 3,08,777 = 18.7%

  2. Turnout of 45.1% was 0.8 pp below the state's median seat (45.9%).

    45.1 − 45.9 = −0.8

  3. The margin widened from 2.2 pp in 1977 to 42.9 pp.

    42.9 − 2.2 = +40.7 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 1977, INC in 1980.
