Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.1% of votes; the other 1 candidate 0.6% between them.

    (45,227 + 43,469) ÷ 91,388 = 97.1% · 524 ÷ 91,388 = 0.6%

  2. Turnout of 77.6% was 1.1 pp below the state's median seat (78.7%).

    77.6 − 78.7 = −1.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 12.7 pp in 1977 to 1.9 pp.

    1.9 − 12.7 = −10.8 pp

  4. Khagendra Nath Sinha, the 1977 winner, finished second in 1982.

    1977 winner name = 1982 runner-up name
