Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.0% of votes; the other 2 candidates 8.3% between them.

    (36,246 + 21,321) ÷ 63,997 = 90.0% · 5,313 ÷ 63,997 = 8.3%

  2. Turnout of 65.4% was 19.6 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    65.4 − 45.8 = +19.6

  3. The margin widened from 17.4 pp in 1977 to 23.3 pp.

    23.3 − 17.4 = +5.9 pp

  4. Umesh Swain, the 1977 winner, finished second in 1980.

    1977 winner name = 1980 runner-up name
