Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JNP polled 12,155 votes, 1.6× the 7,813-vote margin.

    12,155 ÷ 7,813 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 71.4% of votes; the other 1 candidate 26.1% between them.

    (20,520 + 12,707) ÷ 46,520 = 71.4% · 12,155 ÷ 46,520 = 26.1%

  3. Turnout of 61.1% was 3.9 pp above the state's median seat (57.2%).

    61.1 − 57.2 = +3.9

  4. The margin widened from 8.1 pp in 1972 to 16.8 pp.

    16.8 − 8.1 = +8.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: RSP in 1972, CPI(M) in 1977.

    1972 RSP · 1977 CPI(M)
