Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.5% of votes; the other 3 candidates 12.3% between them.

    (33,747 + 10,527) ÷ 51,198 = 86.5% · 6,306 ÷ 51,198 = 12.3%

  2. Turnout of 57.9% was 0.7 pp above the state's median seat (57.2%).

    57.9 − 57.2 = +0.7

  3. The margin widened from 8.6 pp in 1972 to 45.4 pp.

    45.4 − 8.6 = +36.8 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1972, CPI(M) in 1977.
