Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.8% of votes; the other 6 candidates 2.2% between them.

    (4,69,007 + 44,462) ÷ 5,25,179 = 97.8% · 11,710 ÷ 5,25,179 = 2.2%

  2. Turnout of 76.5% was 14.7 pp above the state's median seat (61.8%).

    76.5 − 61.8 = +14.7

  3. The margin widened from 20.6 pp in 1971 to 80.8 pp.

    80.8 − 20.6 = +60.2 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: CPI in 1971, BLD in 1977.
