[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JPS polled 41,532 votes, 1.0× the 40,951-vote margin.

    41,532 ÷ 40,951 = 1.0

  2. The top two polled 62.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 32.0% between them.

    (1,03,983 + 63,032) ÷ 2,65,565 = 62.9% · 84,951 ÷ 2,65,565 = 32.0%

  3. Turnout of 41.9% was 4.0 pp below the state's median seat (45.9%).

    41.9 − 45.9 = −4.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 19.7 pp in 1977 to 15.4 pp.

    15.4 − 19.7 = −4.3 pp

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

    1977 BLD · 1980 INC
