Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JPSCC polled 11,946 votes, 1.3× the 9,335-vote margin.

    11,946 ÷ 9,335 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 74.2% of votes; the other 1 candidate 22.8% between them.

    (24,125 + 14,790) ÷ 52,479 = 74.2% · 11,946 ÷ 52,479 = 22.8%

  3. Turnout of 53.0% was 7.2 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    53.0 − 45.8 = +7.2

  4. The margin widened from 8.2 pp in 1977 to 17.8 pp.

    17.8 − 8.2 = +9.6 pp

  5. Biswanath Sahu also won in 1977.

    1977 winner name = 1980 winner name
