Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.1% of votes; the other 4 candidates 7.7% between them.

    (40,214 + 23,331) ÷ 71,351 = 89.1% · 5,477 ÷ 71,351 = 7.7%

  2. Turnout of 66.5% was 12.2 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    66.5 − 78.7 = −12.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 43.4 pp in 1977 to 23.7 pp.

    23.7 − 43.4 = −19.7 pp

  4. Haradhan Roy also won in 1977.
