[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 78.6% of votes; the other 9 candidates 19.4% between them.

    (9,513 + 6,971) ÷ 20,973 = 78.6% · 4,065 ÷ 20,973 = 19.4%

  2. Turnout of 76.3% was 4.2 pp above the state's median seat (72.1%).

    76.3 − 72.1 = +4.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 19.6 pp in 1977 to 12.1 pp.

    12.1 − 19.6 = −7.5 pp

  4. Brij Lal also won in 1977.

    1977 winner name = 1982 winner name
