Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 9,622 votes, 3.4× the 2,793-vote margin.

    9,622 ÷ 2,793 = 3.4

  2. The top two polled 50.6% of votes; the other 10 candidates 49.4% between them.

    (14,784 + 11,991) ÷ 52,950 = 50.6% · 26,175 ÷ 52,950 = 49.4%

  3. Turnout of 44.9% was 3.8 pp below the state's median seat (48.7%).

    44.9 − 48.7 = −3.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.7 pp in 1972 to 5.3 pp.

    5.3 − 15.7 = −10.4 pp

  5. Ram Prit Rai also won in 1972.

    1972 winner name = 1977 winner name
