Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.7% of votes; the other 1 candidate 0.9% between them.

    (47,607 + 33,082) ÷ 82,567 = 97.7% · 738 ÷ 82,567 = 0.9%

  2. Turnout of 87.7% was 9.0 pp above the state's median seat (78.7%).

    87.7 − 78.7 = +9.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 20.0 pp in 1977 to 17.6 pp.

    17.6 − 20.0 = −2.4 pp

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

    1977 CPI(M) · 1982 CPI(M)
