Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.9% of votes; the other 3 candidates 2.8% between them.

    (61,381 + 41,435) ÷ 1,08,304 = 94.9% · 2,988 ÷ 1,08,304 = 2.8%

  2. Turnout of 71.1% was 7.6 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    71.1 − 78.7 = −7.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 39.2 pp in 1977 to 18.4 pp.

    18.4 − 39.2 = −20.8 pp

  4. AIFB held the seat it won in 1977.
