Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.4% of votes; the other 1 candidate 1.0% between them.

    (47,283 + 26,658) ÷ 76,712 = 96.4% · 801 ÷ 76,712 = 1.0%

  2. Turnout of 79.7% was 1.0 pp above the state's median seat (78.7%).

    79.7 − 78.7 = +1.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 40.7 pp in 1977 to 26.9 pp.

    26.9 − 40.7 = −13.8 pp

  4. Lakshi Narayan Saha also won in 1977.

    1977 winner name = 1982 winner name
