Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.1% of votes; the other 1 candidate 2.2% between them.

    (34,735 + 31,329) ÷ 69,501 = 95.1% · 1,539 ÷ 69,501 = 2.2%

  2. Turnout of 64.2% was 14.5 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    64.2 − 78.7 = −14.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 26.2 pp in 1977 to 4.9 pp.

    4.9 − 26.2 = −21.3 pp

  4. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 1977.
