Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 69.5% of votes; the other 6 candidates 24.6% between them.

    (1,73,070 + 63,837) ÷ 3,40,939 = 69.5% · 83,872 ÷ 3,40,939 = 24.6%

  2. Turnout of 47.2% was 1.3 pp above the state's median seat (45.9%).

    47.2 − 45.9 = +1.3

  3. The margin widened from 17.9 pp in 1977 to 32.0 pp.

    32.0 − 17.9 = +14.1 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BLD in 1977, INC in 1980.
