Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 10.9% between them.

    (50,109 + 14,471) ÷ 74,211 = 87.0% · 8,069 ÷ 74,211 = 10.9%

  2. Turnout of 79.2% was 0.5 pp above the state's median seat (78.7%).

    79.2 − 78.7 = +0.5

  3. The margin widened from 6.8 pp in 1977 to 48.0 pp.

    48.0 − 6.8 = +41.2 pp

  4. Pradyot Kumar Mahanti, the 1977 winner, finished second in 1982.

    1977 winner name = 1982 runner-up name
