Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 12.5% between them.

    (37,053 + 14,600) ÷ 59,911 = 86.2% · 7,510 ÷ 59,911 = 12.5%

  2. Turnout of 51.4% was 5.8 pp below the state's median seat (57.2%).

    51.4 − 57.2 = −5.8

  3. The margin widened from 32.3 pp in 1972 to 37.5 pp.

    37.5 − 32.3 = +5.2 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1972, CPI(M) in 1977.
