Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.4% of votes; the other 1 candidate 0.8% between them.

    (37,279 + 33,872) ÷ 73,069 = 97.4% · 559 ÷ 73,069 = 0.8%

  2. Turnout of 79.5% was 0.8 pp above the state's median seat (78.7%).

    79.5 − 78.7 = +0.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 22.7 pp in 1977 to 4.7 pp.

    4.7 − 22.7 = −18.0 pp

  4. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 1977.
