[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 14,143 votes, 1.9× the 7,568-vote margin.

    14,143 ÷ 7,568 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 78.2% of votes; the other 2 candidates 20.2% between them.

    (32,016 + 24,448) ÷ 72,246 = 78.2% · 14,563 ÷ 72,246 = 20.2%

  3. Turnout of 82.7% was 4.0 pp above the state's median seat (78.7%).

    82.7 − 78.7 = +4.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 26.4 pp in 1977 to 10.5 pp.

    10.5 − 26.4 = −15.9 pp

  5. Ram Chatterjee also won in 1977.

    1977 winner name = 1982 winner name
