Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.9% of votes; the other 3 candidates 10.9% between them.

    (36,319 + 23,365) ÷ 67,902 = 87.9% · 7,394 ÷ 67,902 = 10.9%

  2. Turnout of 79.6% was 0.9 pp above the state's median seat (78.7%).

    79.6 − 78.7 = +0.9

  3. The margin widened from 18.9 pp in 1977 to 19.1 pp.

    19.1 − 18.9 = +0.2 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: JNP in 1977, CPI(M) in 1982.

    1977 JNP · 1982 CPI(M)
