Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 85.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 12.3% between them.

    (31,131 + 20,537) ÷ 60,765 = 85.0% · 7,449 ÷ 60,765 = 12.3%

  2. Turnout of 64.8% was 19.0 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    64.8 − 45.8 = +19.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 28.2 pp in 1977 to 17.4 pp.

    17.4 − 28.2 = −10.8 pp

  4. Raj Kishore Ram, the 1977 winner, finished second in 1980.

    1977 winner name = 1980 runner-up name
