Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 18.8% between them.

    (30,702 + 10,838) ÷ 52,581 = 79.0% · 9,901 ÷ 52,581 = 18.8%

  2. Turnout of 52.5% was 6.7 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    52.5 − 45.8 = +6.7

  3. The margin widened from 15.1 pp in 1977 to 37.8 pp.

    37.8 − 15.1 = +22.7 pp

  4. Rasmanjari Devi, the 1977 winner, finished second in 1980.

    1977 winner name = 1980 runner-up name
