Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed CPI polled 26,999 votes, 9.9× the 2,727-vote margin.
26,999 ÷ 2,727 = 9.9
The top two polled 89.2% of votes; the other 18 candidates 8.9% between them.
(1,98,390 + 1,95,663) ÷ 4,41,603 = 89.2% · 39,483 ÷ 4,41,603 = 8.9%
Turnout of 51.2% was 6.3 pp below the state's median seat (57.5%).
51.2 − 57.5 = −6.3
The margin narrowed from 9.6 pp in 1977 to 0.6 pp.
0.6 − 9.6 = −9.0 pp
The seat changed hands: BLD in 1977, JNP in 1980.
