Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 70.7% of votes; the other 3 candidates 25.2% between them.

    (14,288 + 6,034) ÷ 28,761 = 70.7% · 7,259 ÷ 28,761 = 25.2%

  2. Turnout of 34.2% was 11.6 pp below the state's median seat (45.8%).

    34.2 − 45.8 = −11.6

  3. The margin widened from 4.0 pp in 1977 to 28.7 pp.

    28.7 − 4.0 = +24.7 pp

  4. Gajanan Nayak also won in 1977.
