Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.4% of votes; the other 3 candidates 3.3% between them.

    (52,687 + 39,709) ÷ 97,859 = 94.4% · 3,267 ÷ 97,859 = 3.3%

  2. Turnout of 70.2% was 8.5 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    70.2 − 78.7 = −8.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 40.2 pp in 1977 to 13.3 pp.

    13.3 − 40.2 = −26.9 pp

  4. Tarun Chatterjee also won in 1977.
