Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JNP polled 59,424 votes, 1.0× the 57,498-vote margin.

    59,424 ÷ 57,498 = 1.0

  2. The top two polled 79.6% of votes; the other 7 candidates 20.4% between them.

    (2,04,022 + 1,46,524) ÷ 4,40,145 = 79.6% · 89,599 ÷ 4,40,145 = 20.4%

  3. Turnout of 59.0% was 8.6 pp above the state's median seat (50.4%).

    59.0 − 50.4 = +8.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 43.6 pp in 1977 to 13.1 pp.

    13.1 − 43.6 = −30.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BLD in 1977, INC(U) in 1980.

    1977 BLD · 1980 INC(U)
