Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.3% of votes; the other 2 candidates 12.7% between them.

    (3,01,076 + 1,00,359) ÷ 4,60,054 = 87.3% · 58,619 ÷ 4,60,054 = 12.7%

  2. Turnout of 70.2% was 8.4 pp above the state's median seat (61.8%).

    70.2 − 61.8 = +8.4

  3. The margin widened from 38.6 pp in 1971 to 43.6 pp.

    43.6 − 38.6 = +5.0 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1971, BLD in 1977.

    1971 INC · 1977 BLD
