Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 5,074 votes, 8.8× the 576-vote margin.

    5,074 ÷ 576 = 8.8

  2. The top two polled 69.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 29.4% between them.

    (7,477 + 6,901) ÷ 20,772 = 69.2% · 6,097 ÷ 20,772 = 29.4%

  3. Turnout of 68.7% was 3.4 pp below the state's median seat (72.1%).

    68.7 − 72.1 = −3.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 53.4 pp in 1977 to 2.8 pp.

    2.8 − 53.4 = −50.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JNP in 1977, BJP in 1982.
