Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.6% of votes; the other 4 candidates 3.0% between them.

    (44,935 + 34,868) ÷ 84,321 = 94.6% · 2,506 ÷ 84,321 = 3.0%

  2. Turnout of 56.3% was 22.4 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    56.3 − 78.7 = −22.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 17.1 pp in 1977 to 11.9 pp.

    11.9 − 17.1 = −5.2 pp

  4. Biren Bose also won in 1977.

    1977 winner name = 1982 winner name
