Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.8% of votes; the other 2 candidates 13.2% between them.

    (20,179 + 12,324) ÷ 37,463 = 86.8% · 4,960 ÷ 37,463 = 13.2%

  2. Turnout of 45.9% was 2.6 pp below the state's median seat (48.5%).

    45.9 − 48.5 = −2.6

  3. The margin widened from 0.1 pp in 1971 to 21.0 pp.

    21.0 − 0.1 = +20.9 pp

  4. Birabhadra Singh, the 1971 winner, finished second in 1974.

    1971 winner name = 1974 runner-up name
