Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 71.5% of votes; the other 4 candidates 24.6% between them.

    (1,74,398 + 56,422) ÷ 3,22,788 = 71.5% · 79,523 ÷ 3,22,788 = 24.6%

  2. Turnout of 46.1% was 11.4 pp below the state's median seat (57.5%).

    46.1 − 57.5 = −11.4

  3. The margin widened from 26.4 pp in 1977 to 36.5 pp.

    36.5 − 26.4 = +10.1 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1977.
