Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.7% of votes; the other 5 candidates 2.3% between them.

    (38,127 + 25,677) ÷ 66,672 = 95.7% · 1,514 ÷ 66,672 = 2.3%

  2. Turnout of 69.1% was 9.6 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    69.1 − 78.7 = −9.6

  3. The margin widened from 8.6 pp in 1977 to 18.7 pp.

    18.7 − 8.6 = +10.1 pp

  4. Nikhil Das, the 1977 winner, finished second in 1982.

    1977 winner name = 1982 runner-up name
