Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.4% of votes; the other 1 candidate 0.6% between them.

    (55,445 + 27,035) ÷ 84,699 = 97.4% · 538 ÷ 84,699 = 0.6%

  2. Turnout of 76.3% was 2.4 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    76.3 − 78.7 = −2.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 48.2 pp in 1977 to 33.5 pp.

    33.5 − 48.2 = −14.7 pp

  4. Kamal Sarkar also won in 1977.

    1977 winner name = 1982 winner name
