Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 20.6% between them.

    (1,84,090 + 52,099) ÷ 2,97,519 = 79.4% · 61,330 ÷ 2,97,519 = 20.6%

  2. Turnout of 52.4% was 2.5 pp below the state's median seat (54.9%).

    52.4 − 54.9 = −2.5

  3. The margin widened from 20.7 pp in 1971 to 44.4 pp.

    44.4 − 20.7 = +23.7 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: IND in 1971, BLD in 1977.
