Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.3% of votes; the other 2 candidates 15.1% between them.

    (1,27,413 + 81,786) ÷ 2,63,826 = 79.3% · 39,864 ÷ 2,63,826 = 15.1%

  2. Turnout of 45.7% was 0.2 pp below the state's median seat (45.9%).

    45.7 − 45.9 = −0.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 27.6 pp in 1977 to 17.3 pp.

    17.3 − 27.6 = −10.3 pp

  4. Pratap Keshari Deo, the 1977 winner, finished second in 1980.

    1977 winner name = 1980 runner-up name
