Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 1,09,573 votes, 3.9× the 27,929-vote margin.

    1,09,573 ÷ 27,929 = 3.9

  2. The top two polled 66.8% of votes; the other 13 candidates 31.2% between them.

    (1,59,196 + 1,31,267) ÷ 4,34,978 = 66.8% · 1,35,513 ÷ 4,34,978 = 31.2%

  3. Turnout of 66.9% was 1.4 pp above the state's median seat (65.5%).

    66.9 − 65.5 = +1.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 58.9 pp in 1977 to 6.4 pp.

    6.4 − 58.9 = −52.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BLD in 1977, JPS in 1980.
