Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.7% of votes; the other 2 candidates 9.7% between them.

    (12,525 + 7,193) ÷ 22,738 = 86.7% · 2,210 ÷ 22,738 = 9.7%

  2. Turnout of 26.1% was 15.7 pp below the state's median seat (41.8%).

    26.1 − 41.8 = −15.7

  3. The margin widened from 11.6 pp in 1974 to 23.4 pp.

    23.4 − 11.6 = +11.8 pp

  4. Chandra Sekhar Behera, the 1974 winner, finished second in 1977.

    1974 winner name = 1977 runner-up name
