Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.5% of votes; the other 2 candidates 2.3% between them.

    (37,902 + 28,260) ÷ 68,567 = 96.5% · 1,605 ÷ 68,567 = 2.3%

  2. Turnout of 68.7% was 22.9 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    68.7 − 45.8 = +22.9

  3. The margin narrowed from 31.0 pp in 1977 to 14.1 pp.

    14.1 − 31.0 = −16.9 pp

  4. Nalinikanta Mohanty also won in 1977.
