Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 9.5% between them.

    (47,814 + 30,085) ÷ 88,232 = 88.3% · 8,377 ÷ 88,232 = 9.5%

  2. Turnout of 83.1% was 4.4 pp above the state's median seat (78.7%).

    83.1 − 78.7 = +4.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 37.4 pp in 1977 to 20.1 pp.

    20.1 − 37.4 = −17.3 pp

  4. Mohini Mohan Panda also won in 1977.

    1977 winner name = 1982 winner name
