Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 83.9% of votes; the other 4 candidates 12.9% between them.

    (29,860 + 21,770) ÷ 61,518 = 83.9% · 7,927 ÷ 61,518 = 12.9%

  2. Turnout of 59.4% was 13.6 pp above the state's median seat (45.8%).

    59.4 − 45.8 = +13.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 14.3 pp in 1977 to 13.2 pp.

    13.2 − 14.3 = −1.1 pp

  4. Biswabhusan Harichandan, the 1977 winner, finished second in 1980.

    1977 winner name = 1980 runner-up name
