Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 83.8% of votes; the other 1 candidate 13.7% between them.

    (18,609 + 13,079) ÷ 37,831 = 83.8% · 5,177 ÷ 37,831 = 13.7%

  2. Turnout of 47.9% was 6.1 pp above the state's median seat (41.8%).

    47.9 − 41.8 = +6.1

  3. The margin widened from 10.2 pp in 1974 to 14.6 pp.

    14.6 − 10.2 = +4.4 pp

  4. Bhajaman Behera, the 1974 winner, finished second in 1977.

    1974 winner name = 1977 runner-up name
