Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 9,771 votes, 1.2× the 7,857-vote margin.

    9,771 ÷ 7,857 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 57.0% of votes; the other 9 candidates 43.0% between them.

    (20,939 + 13,082) ÷ 59,704 = 57.0% · 25,683 ÷ 59,704 = 43.0%

  3. Turnout of 55.3% was 1.3 pp below the state's median seat (56.6%).

    55.3 − 56.6 = −1.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 24.2 pp in 1977 to 13.2 pp.

    13.2 − 24.2 = −11.0 pp

  5. Chaturbhuj Prasad Singh, the 1977 winner, finished second in 1980.

    1977 winner name = 1980 runner-up name
